Slightly random, but my friend and I were telling her 11 year old son about the old record and CD clubs and how it was pretty much the "illegal downloading" back in the day, which got me thinking of my own stories and wanting to hear some of yours.
Personally, I remember getting CDs from Columbia House and them sending the bill and the "album of the month" and other crap. I think someone called me on the phone and I pretty much told them they shouldn't enter into non-binding contracts with teenagers. That was the end of that chapter!
I also remember my cousin and I joining all sorts of record clubs and then pulling the whole "I'm 14 and you aren't getting anything out of me" shtick when the bill came due. Hell, a junkmail thing for some book club showed up once (it had book titles with those tear off and send in stamps) so we got 10 random books and I'm pretty sure we just threw them in the street.
Lord, only boring people get bored!
