Happy Thanksgiving: Here’s a Special Adhesion Contract Just for You

A student shared with me this flyer that her father received.  I have provided a large reproduction so that readers can read the fine print, which is really the focus of this post.

 On my reading, the meaning of this is as follows: if

• You made the mistake of having previously subscribed to the newspaper; and
• You have the temerity to continue living at the same address; and
• You do nothing else,

A newspaper will be delivered to you on Thanksgiving.  

Regardless of what you do with it, your inaction will be deemed consent to future deliveries and you will be charged unless you call the newspaper and put a stop to it.  

This “offer” is a turkey, and those receiving it should tell the newspaper to stuff it.
