How to stop advocate teaser papers
Posted on 5/31/15 at 9:31 pm

It doesn't matter how many times I call or email the advocate headquarters they won't stop throwing teaser papers in my yard. While I applaud their ability to throw their advertisements in the wettest part of the yard I would like them to stop. Last
time I called to ask them to stop the actually told me they have no idea where the teasers are thrown so they can't stop them. Apparently the Advocate operates their advertising department like its a rogue hit man. Anyone have suggestions on how to get them to stop?

save up about 100 of them, then go dump them on their office desk.

I have gone as far as going to the HQ offices--to no avail.
When you make a case of it and video numerous times and keep records of your calls and emails to stop it, and then spend money to file a suit, things may change. As of now, they don't care if they anger you--you are not and will not be a customer.
Or you can call Bill Capo at WWL TV...

honestly, there are a lot of things in life that are worth getting pissed over...getting a free newspaper thrown in your yard is not really one of those things...
do yourself a favor, sit back and relax while you read your newspaper...

You have so much anger over a free newspaper.

Was just talking about this today. HOA president emailed them to no avail.
They're not welcome. Should be against the law to litter like that.

You are close to the answer, grasshopper. Which is: don't complain to the paper, but instead complain to the poor uninformed businesses who are paying for this waste of dead trees to advertise in this litter generator.
Always. Follow. The. Money.

According to a lot of idiots on this board, since the delivery person is encroaching on your property, albeit through a thrown newspaper, you have the right to basically straight up murder him/her without repercussion.

If everyone who got one dropped it in the mail addressed to the advocate headquarters, that would be awesome.
Everyday they'd received dozens of papers back to them.

I e-mailed them one time, and haven't received one since then. Maybe a coincidence.

Hello,
Could you please discontinue delivery of the Advocate Free Edition to my address? I am not interested in the content and would rather not have to pick it up from my driveway just to have it go to waste. My address is below.

This has never bothered me. I'm an outdoors person though. I'm out in the yard so much I just grab it and toss it real quick.

Do you have a HOA? Our HOA has a no solicitors law. You can get the HOA to send the Advocate a stop and decease letter. HOA laws are laws enforceable by the local police.

Light one on fire and toss into their station wagon as they pass by.

Is these a gay paper?
I don't think I want to know how they tease.
