Dish Network Mail

I got this in the mail today.  It's from Dish Network and it's 2 sided, very shiny and thick paper.  It's basically 1 sheet folded in half and they dropped it in the mail to advertise for their satellite service.  But the thing that is hilarious is that it's all wrong.  Here take a look and then tell me what you see wrong with it.

Click the images to see it full size.

Obviously I removed my home address and typed something silly in there so it didn't look plain.


Don't you think it's strange?  Ok I've already disclosed my name, It's Mike McDonald.  Go ahead, look at the little Facebook icon in the right side of this blog, it shows my name with my Facebook profile picture.  That I'm not hiding.  But my point is, look at my last name.  McDonald.  Does that scream Arabic to you?


I can understand if they sent me one in Spanish because I'm constantly getting shit in the mail in Spanish but Arabic?


Who is telling Dish Network that this is a service that people with my surname are asking for in Bakersfield, CA?  You can see the return address is in Englewood Colorado.  Why is it that Englewood Colorado is sending junk mail to California?


I don't normally scan my junk mail lol.  This is not what I do but it was so shocking that I had to scan it and blog about it because who would think that a McDonald would ever get something like this?


I know it's not a human error because the computers print the names and addresses on these things then fold them and squirt some rubber cement in 2 spots and they all get sent to a bin to be mailed.  Their computers are obviously mistaking McDonald for an Arabic country when it should have thought that my name belonged to a Scottish country.


I know, maybe there is a woman out there who is Arabic who got married to a Scott named McDonald and she ordered Dish in Arabic so from that the computer decided that all McDonald's out there want Dish in Arabic lol.  That's the only thing I can think of.


Or maybe I'm thinking about this too much.  Ok, it's going in the recycle bin lol.
