i recently started working for a company that delivers marketing campaings to the inbox of people on the clients database of email addresses. i'm designing the emails and the form page that follows. i'm doing my best to make the pages look like something i wouldn't mind getting in my mail ... but the question remains ... is this ethical? should i even give a shit (after all, it's a paycheck)? plus it's better than wasting paper on ads that just get filed, right? any thoughts on this?

hey bug ... try a small group of guys trying to make a buck, instead of a big gay corp ... if you knew me at all, asshole, you'd fuckin know i wouldn't be workin' for a big gay corporation. suck my ass you fuck.

You didnt say if it was opt-in..
If the people on the list subscribed to the emails, then yes it's ethical... It's a service requested by the customer (if it's a requested newsletter service) ... or at least agreed to by the customer (in the case of marketing campaigns).

alright. enough of that. hey bug, sorry if i took that the wrong way ... no more smart ass shit from you ;) we're cool.
and btw, the emails (as i metnioned) are sent to the clitents' database of addresses ... so cool right? ... no unsolicited emails.
- tfs__mag0
you'd probably have to ask the client about that. it's their database, who knows how they compiled the addresses.
