The best junk fax I've seen yet

We get a lot of junk faxes at work. But most of them are actually trying to sell you something. This one we got today though, it's quite impressive.

Election Issues VOTE USA 2004 (Letterhead)
OFFICIAL ELECTION SURVEY
VOTE NOW
4000 SAME-SEX MARRIAGES ANNULLED
DO YOU AGREE WITH GEORGE W.BUSH THAT MARRIAGE SHOULD ONLY BE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN? (the lack of space between . and bush, that's part of the fax.)

then there's a yes box to the left with a tiny pixely drawing of kerry. then a larger picture of bush, then a no box to the right with a tiny picture of someone most closely resembling nixon than anyone else i can think of. Is he running again this year? Because I'm pretty sure that he's dead.

then there's a paragraph explaining the whole same sex marriage controversy
then a 1-900 fax number where you're supposed to check a box and fax in your yes or no answer.


Calls to 1-900 numbers cost $3.95 per minute, a small price for a greater democracy. Calls take approx 1.5-2 minutes....

The result of this nation wide survey will be presented to the three Presidential Candidates, Congress and the Supreme Court.

Senate Surveys
PO Box 5568, Milton Keynes, MK3 SZE, UK

Wow, there's just so much greatness in this one fax.... I can't even begin to comment. I'm thinking of taking it home to scan and posting it.

    I saw this junk fax at Kaplan, and couldn't stop telling people about it. This was before I had a blog.

    The key points I always hit:

    A. Who's dumb enough to pay to respond to a survey?

    B. What kind of lobbying group sends out polls before they decide which side to lobby for?

    C. Based in the UK?!
