Angry McDonalds sent me a SPAM TEXT MESSAGE!

Needless to say, I'm calling customer service and threatening to sue them for spam texting me.

But see, this is the thing... 10 cents per text message. I have unlimited text messaging, but I'd rather make the firm stand now before more companies do the same thing. Can you imagine what it'd be like if you got as many spam text messages as you do spam email? You'd be effectively charged 5 dollars a day to receive someone else's spam. Call me a hypocrite for having unlimited text messaging and making a big deal about it, but I was just planning on switching to cingular, which would then mean I'd have that whole 10 cent fee per text.

mcdonald's spam, lol. That is wrong, though, spamming with a text message when it does cost $ for a lot of people.
