For the love of trees, stop sending Ringo fan mail
There's no telling how many old growth forests have been axed in the name of Beatles fan mail. I'm guessing that if we put all of the perfume-scented letters addressed to John, Paul, George, and Ringo in one place, it would make even the toughest lumberjack cry a little. That's why it's kind of nice to see one of the remaining Beatles finally putting a stop to it. Through a video posted on his website, Ringo has asked fans to kindly stop sending him their junk. Starting next week, every piece of mail postmarked after October 20th will be thrown away -- or hopefully recycled -- because Ringo has "too much to do." Although he uttered the words "peace and love" about 27 times during the video, many fans are understandably upset and outraged at Ringo's anti-social request. I agree, it's kind of a strange announcement -- especially coming from a Beatle. He probably should have emphasized the environmental benefits of his anti-fan mail announcement. A little PR never hurts, Ringo.
