Read but Dead IV
This is hilarious. Even though the Industry Standard's been dead and buried since August, AOL's Time division continues to rent its old subscriber mailing list -- and former subscribers continue to receive Standard-related marketing messages via email. The email's are purportedly sent by the now-defunct magazine, although the spam does include a disclaimer that says the Standard is not affiliated with the offer. AOL picked up the subscriber list for $500,000 at a bankruptcy auction last September. The price former readers are now paying? I wonder.

Thanks to Interesting People.
