You may have received one of these over the weekend:

Consider yourself lucky — I got 2.

Now I can’t decide which is more annoying:

receiving multiple copies of a 4-color come-on hyping Global Warming Solutions, Inc. (GWSO.pk ) — a company whose announced mission is to fight global warming — or

that there’s no 800# at which to direct my venom.

Using OTL’s vaunted research method — 1 question on Google – I was able to uncover these interesting tid-bits:

  1. The Green Investor Report is a paid advertisement from a 3rd party that may or may not trade in GWSO stock
  2. This is not the first time the Green Investor Report has appeared
  3. Each time coinciding with a momentary spike in GWSO’s stock price.

Talk about your good luck.

When I called Global Warming Solutions - (713)-353-4676 — a receptionist indicated that none of the executives were available to take me off their list; instead she sent me to the voice mail of a guy named Vladimir ( x2676.)

One more fun fact: Global Warming Solutions is located in downtown Houston — 1400 Smith Street, be exact.

Green Investor Report and Global Warming Solutions, for blatant hypocrisy and general douche-baggery toward the environment and investors alike, not to mention catalog overkill, you’re both On My List.
