Paper advertisements

I suppose the amount of advertising that is delivered to our house is not actually that large. A couple of flyers each day is about the norm. Still, I can't help wondering about, for example, Verizon. For over a year, week in and week out, they've sent a flyer to our house advertising their FIOS program. It's still not available at our location according to their website, but this doesn't seem to deter them from wanting us to join their as of now fictitious offering. I guess I should be glad we have a pretty good recycling program around here...
