I try to prune back on how much junk mail I get and what I do get goes into a shredder (Fellowes OD1500C, great shredder) without a second glance. Exceeeeept this one which caught my attention, for well marketing reasons :-). Now while I’m thinking about whether I need to spend $12 on a years for a subscription to Playboy I’m more curious where Playboy got my address from and which lists would Playboy correlate with high marketing responses. I don’t think Lexus or Porsche would sell my address. Maybe from my Flying, Fine Woodworking, Stereophile, Widescreen Review, Car & Driver, Road & Track , Excellence (Porsche) magazine subscriptions? Maybe Playboy trolls the FAA pilots database? My Health club/gym membership? Mmmm.
