Just the Fax

Posted on January 21, 2009.

This is something I'm about to submit the TheDailyWTF. Every year, FoxMar down in Miami does the senior portraits for our old high school. My fiancee wanted to buy some pictures of her sister, so she went to their website to find the prices. Surprisingly, they don't have their prices on their website. So she called them, and the representative said she would fax the prices over. When my fiancee went to the fax machine, this is what she found:

FoxMar Fax

This woman just put the brochure on the fax machine, and I'm pretty sure it was all black. I did a high-quality scan of the fax pages, so trust me, it is that hard to read. I don't have anything more to say about this… this tear: * is for all the ink that was lost.

p.s. don't know if it was clear, but this was two pages… I just put them together in Photoshop.

    That's just incredibly dumb of them isn't it?! :o

    Yeah, the sad thing is, it's not their ink that's going to waste, but the customer receiving the fax can't read half the stuff that's written.

    Also, if you squint, you'll find some Comic Sans in there.

    This is the fax of death. Back before email spam there was fax spam in the UK. Second hand car dealers would fax big lists of car deals to any fax numbers they had. The only way to handle them was (back when computers had 14.4kbps modems) to send a very long inverted fax. 100 white pages, inverted would just nuke their fax.
