Probably a prank--someone leaves his desk and the merry prankster signs him up for something while hes gone. Heh-heh.

It's the Internet generation's version of the old matchbook caper: guy comes away from the postoffice grumbling about getting no mail. Prankster starts filling in the matchbook cover ads and dropping them in the mail. After a few weeks of endless junk mail, there's no bellyaching about not getting anything.
