LOL...I was just talking about this the other day. I NEVER use these things...expect if i'm completely board and its sitting right in front of me. Its fun to look at the pictures sometimes
I don't understand the comments about phonebooks being 100% recycled paper, like that makes it ok somehow. Don't people think that it takes power to take a book, recycle the paper, then put it all together in a new book?!
F**k the phone company. Cancel your service and get Skype for like $3 a month- WhTF needs landlines these days anyway??? Every year I drive down the street and see like a thousand phone books rotting on the side of the road cuz nobody want to take their heavy asses inside...BTW they do make good backstops for BB guns and .22s, FYI... Anyway, you're such a hottie, keep up the awesome vlogs!
You know most of you are correcting Katie on how she didn't know that phone books were recycled, but either way these books are going to be thrown away by people who don't know how to recycle or who could give a dang about it. So what I'm trying to say is that most of all the lovely phone books in the world are predestined to end up rotting in a landfill and taking up every last inch of whatever land we have left to utilize. Good idea about having phone book companies ask us first! :)
YP's use recycled paper. I "actually" run a green company and I need the yellow pages. The internet is still very new and not all headings found on the internet have legitimate local results. The internet is also very expensive and I could never afford to get the exposure that I need. I think your just trying to play the green stance to draw attention to yourself. Typical American, rants to hear themselves talk actually knowing little to nothing about the subject they are talking about.
That's a wonderful rant of your own. It also has absolutely nothing to do with the fact she does not need 5 phone books sent to her in 2 months. Recycled paper or not, phone books are an incredible waste of financial and natural resources.
Unfortunately most of these comments have very little factual data actually in them for instance the one phone book she was complaining about making her think of all the trees being cut down, is made of 100% recycled paper. A tree is never cut down to produce that directory. it is made out the pulp and scraps that are left over, from the lumber mill. By the way when her computer breaks down, she will have to borrow her neighbors book to call for help.
We get those darn things here in Sweden too, but only 2 =) I say lets get a big truck, collect books from all the ppl who doesn't want them (oh maby we need more then one truck...) and dump it on the ppl who makes them :) Not sure why i came up with this (brilliant) idea, but it sounds fun =)
I haven't kept a paper phonebook for over 5 years. In my apt. building there are a stack of over 20 phonebooks that have been sitting there for a year. That means that only 2 or 3 people actually took them. Now time for you to do a rant about junk mail. I'd estimate that 98% of all mail sent to me is JUNK!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fkcn inviermental greenpeace hippy ass bragging brat! damn quit crying about freakin' phonebooks... why are so much people trying to be "funny" AND "green" at the same time its fkcn useless go get a life go plant some trees if ur upset about paper that goes in to phonebooks but dont brag about some phonebooks cuz if u dont like em throw them away and dont harras other people with ur phonebook problems! I HATE THESE HIPPY INVIERMENTAL PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY CRYING ABOUT EVERY THING... GO AWAY
Just a thought. If you're planning on continuing your hate on hippie's and the environmentalists...I urge you to learn how to spell those words...you know... to make your case stronger.
I work @ Yellowbook and apparently you should do some more research before you go on a bichfest! Yellowbook uses 100 % recycled paper for all of the directories...so its not trees that you see...Next, 30 % of the population still in 2008 DOES NOT own a computer. We are not mind readers, we deliver the book to every door no matter what, that is our JOB! If you dont want the book, recycle it then...we give you a # to call to recycle it just for whiny babies like you!
yes. yes indeed. you sir, are a very perceptive lady. In fact, in light of you being a lady a take back the whole 'sir' thing. That was dumb. Phone books make me want to cry.
a good and valid point there, i never even thought about it, take me in every year off the doorstep, shove em on a shelf then every time i need a phone number i use the internet. they should let us opt out of receiving them!
GO KATIE! i'm sorry, this is a BLOG! in laymans terms, its someone talking about things that THEY want to talk about, not YOU! i'm sorry if this doesnt reach YOUR standers, so i want to give a universal apology to everyone that watches this vid and is expecting some discussion on a serious topic that is affecting our world which YOU want to hear about. unless you want to help the environment, or have an equal understanding of the irritation caused by the phone book companies.
i agree, i think you are just looking for some internet time and decided the yellowbook would be something to rant about. That is so SAD. War, poverty, crime, death, shitty politics, economy tanking, inflation, high fuel prices, world events, and all you can rant about is getting free recycled yellowpages??? recycling is just another thing you have to do now?.... from the look of things and the amount of videos you post, it looks like you have PLENTY of spare time and have nothing better to do
Wow!! You have to admit the irony in the fact that the video you posted is about free speech, yet you bash me for talking about what I want to talk about on my own channel. No shit there are bigger problems in the world. Some people post videos talking about Britney Spears' daily habits. I'm talking about something I don't want or need and that's a total waste of paper. Get some perspective.
free speech is why you are able to do what you do, rant about useless shit. yes people rant about britney, and things that have no importance at all, good for them... I am just pointing out that you are one of them. In doing research on advertising i came accross your whining, and YES its free speech, but it doesnt take critical thinking or a national movement to place a call and say "get me off your mailing list please". Youtube was great before it got watered down by selfloving whining hacks
i agree. but then again, what if the power is out or something and u need to get a hold of like someone to fix ure power or something. eh, idk i'm just sayin. just we've had ice storms ilke crazy lately and no power. anyways, just recycle it or something. but i AGREE that they should only send it if u ask for it. thats totally genius. haha.
Get the story straight It is Yellow Book not the Other Book (AT&T)... I would hate to be you when your computer breaks. Phone books are made from recycled paper. Get your facts straight.
If my computer broke I'd go to the Apple Store. I still don't need a phone book no matter what brand. But if you like them and need them that's really wonderful, keep it.
wat i see is a rain forest! damn look at that! it must be 10-15cm thick! and i agree with u k80 i also get plenty of phone books. and who the hell need one... we get ca. 5 phone books per year. and i have a computer with Internet, so i dont need one. And ill take a call to them and tell them to stop sending me one... u get five starts from me
What are you gonna do when your oh so reliable all knowing computer breaks? Look up someone to fix it on the internet? Or what will you do when you have a plumbing problem and your house if flooding? Wait for your computer to boot up and search for 20 minutes through irrelevant information? You are an idiot!!
they have to if they dont its fraud and they can be sued... in addition its recycled paper and what if we have a power out then your "PHONE BOOK" is useless
This chicks been getting the Yellow Pages her entire life. You'd think that if she was so concerned about their impact on the environment, she would have called to stop receiving them a long time ago.
And I love this: At the beginning she says, "If I need a number I look on the computer." But when she decides to finally make that call, she gets the number from the phone book.
The point remains: this "rant" isn't about your concern for the environment. You've been receiving the yellow pages for years, probably for your entire life. If you truly cared about their impact on the environment, you would have taken action to stop receiving them a long time ago. But you waited until there was a camera in front of you to make that call.
Actually I did it in front of the camera to get others to do the same. That's kinda the point of vlogs. I do care. But clearly there's no convincing you. You are all knowing. Good luck with that.
Never once in this "rant" do you encourage anyone to call the phone company. You don't even call during business hours, not smart. So there goes that argument.
Now to determine if this "rant" is about your internet face-time or the environment: The word environment is used twice (in the same sentence) in this entire video. The words "I" and "me" are used more than forty times.
Now that's really an interesting topic. I never really thought about it but you are right. Those darn phonebooks ARE a waste of paper for most people nowadays.
On the other hand: Which government gives a flying fuck about environment? Tell me one.
I know the phonebooks don't directly come from the government but indirectly somehow they do for sure... through the postal service maybe? Probably.
Where do they really come from? I'd like that to know...
the phone book has NOTHING to with the governemnt. The Yellowbook isnt even a phone company directory, it is a private company...and we deliver the phone book OURSELVES! Again, we are 100% concerned with the environment which is why we use 100% recycles paper
Still it would be worlds better if you wouldn't send them to ANYONE nowadays but maybe only to people needing or wanting one.
I mean cyberspace isn't good for the environment either, but... to look up the few phone numbers one needs takes less energy then producing a whole new phonebook.
For example one google search uses up the power of a bulb that would emit light for 1 whole hour, all those servers use a horrendous amout of energy. Still phonebooks do more harm to the environment as you see..
I still dont think you understand...what harm does a phone book do to the environment??? You care so much about the environment, you must not drive a car then right...you must walk everywhere...Get over it, its just a phone book!
o my god when i get a camera that the people i bought one off decides to deliver WE ARE GONNA GET ON SOOOO WELL... ur rants are as beautiful as mine and random
Geez, I can't express how right you are! I really feel the same way about newspapers! Just imagine how many trees are cut down every day and turned into newspapers! Well, yeah, okay, newspapers are probably a little more useful than phonebooks but still... Tell me if I'm wrong!
KateeeBug - Not only are you just so right about this, youre soooooooooo damn cute when you do it!!! I LOVE it, and I have the same hate in me and understanding that you do!!! Too funny!!
when u say german telecom do u mean u live in germany? caz well if u do u speak very normal english. i mean like not as formal as possibel english like u do when u learn a foreign launguage and u do know that the majorite of youtubers that watch this is american rite?
i lived a couple of years in england, but i dont understand everything, sometimes i got problem with the pronunciations or slang and i am not quite sure what do you mean with american rite...
I totaly dig what your saying here. I understand, and I relate...I feel the same way. But on another note. Not everyone has a computer. In the end, I agree, it should be by request only. It is very wastefull. Good point either way. Smiles.
Hey katie..? Just outta curiosity, I never met you before or know anything about your background...i watched your videos a good numbre of times. Yes I enjoy them, but Im thinking is THIS Chick GEMINI??? I'll betcha LOL..you are Gemini or close, right? Cause you display the classical charcterristics of one! Anyway..well keep them up going!
YES! recycle time!! haha i get like 1 phone book a year.... and im too lazy to call and ask for any1 to not bother.. besides half the time, it saves me a trip up the stairs to get to the computer... anywho yes! SAVE THE PLANET you rule k80!
Do you have a computer? Good lord worried about the trees? your computer uses power which is a natural resorce. Instead of complaining online with your computer you should have just called and asked not to get them. People make a living outta those phone books.
gimme your address, and Im going to send you a german phonebook, you'll never see on your PC, and you can call many germans! and Ill add some candy if you like...you really make me worry *sigh*
Well, since you will always get them, have you thought about checking into phone book recycling centers. We have them in Kansas. I bet you could supply your own green toilet paper for a few years with those phone books!! LOL
Hi K80Blog, Those books represent the livelihoods of countless, nameless advertising account reps whose life's work it is to convince local businesses to spend significant bucks to have their names emblazoned within those hallowed pages. Thus saith the Lord of ATT, Amen. This comment was brought to you by the number 8.
They'll never get rid of the phone books until local businesses stop paying for all the advertising in them. Until then, AT&T will never turn down the almighty buck they so easily continue to make off the other corporate minded idiots still willing to purchase what amounts to be an increasingly obsolete way to advertise. AT&T could care less about us not wanting the damn things or even how relevant they are in today's world, as long as it lines their pockets with corporate ad money.
With all the (literally) billions of pages they print yearly for every (soon-to-be obsolete) phone book in this country and elsewhere, hopefully they are all made out of recycled paper to begin with?
Yes, maybe you should consider a computer hazard. But in this special case, I mean cmon sweetie, I would rather advise you to ring your neighboors door, cuz you already need a big hug and a kind man to talk to.
we don't need any paper at all, we haven't for about 10 years, but old people like to "feel the book in their hands" and "cuddle up next to the fire with a bottle of wiskey and a book" or some other weird fetish, and that's why we're still cutting down trees. all we can do is wait for all of them to drop dead, it'll happen soon enough.
Oh and what do you do when your internet goes down? I was out of interent connection 3 days this week.... out of my control. If it irritates you so much, I would keep calling :0)
Not everyone has computer, not everyone is computer savvy, not everyone has the interent. Have spoken with an older person lately? There are many who don't use the internet for such purposes. Call your local phone company and have them stop delivering. Plus, you can recycle phone books here too. Don't assume everyone has the technology that you do.
My rage concerning phonebooks has now peaked with your video!!!! Damn thee phonebook senders, DAMN THEE!!! Leave them to the homeless for toilet paper.
I guess you could give them to people who do need them. Or to people who don't have a phone at all. No that would probably be mean but then they could use them to start a fire or something.
phone books will stop coming when there is less of a need for them and less money to be made through them. consider it junk mail if you don't want them.
The problem is, some stupid companies came up with the stupid idea that they could compete with the phone company (!) by making their own stupid phone books with their own stupid ads, so now you get several of the damn things. Idiots.
You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Phone books should only be given to convienence stores and perhaps the grocery store-- some central place where people who NEED them can get them. IT's ALL TRULY BANANAS!
Or burn some over privileged white girl who cares about the environment.... lol, but would unwittingly make an over privileged white girl comment about the poor in her country.
Do you have a fireplace? These things make kick ass kindling. They also work great as booster seat. Not kidding you! You could also check out user "Gnatso"'s "Phonebook Prank" for his idea with old phone books. Or you could go on an origami binge.
Katie, PLEASE Answer me THIS: Which is WORSE? Getting YellowPages delivered? OR... YellowPages Phone Book, AND Verizon, AND OptimumPhone, AND... GAWD! A fricken Phone book for every freaking Phone service that exists? Are they for REAL? So, if I am w/o a computer (which I certainly am not), I must first find out the other party's telephone service provider before I can look up their number! Thank GOD for anywho

You're a fraud.

OK, I won't send you any more.... I promise!
Now that's really an interesting topic. I never really thought about it but you are right. Those darn phonebooks ARE a waste of paper for most people nowadays.
On the other hand: Which government gives a flying fuck about environment? Tell me one.
I know the phonebooks don't directly come from the government but indirectly somehow they do for sure... through the postal service maybe? Probably.
Where do they really come from? I'd like that to know...
Antigoblinius 4 years ago
the phone book has NOTHING to with the governemnt. The Yellowbook isnt even a phone company directory, it is a private company...and we deliver the phone book OURSELVES! Again, we are 100% concerned with the environment which is why we use 100% recycles paper
in10sitee 3 years ago
Still it would be worlds better if you wouldn't send them to ANYONE nowadays but maybe only to people needing or wanting one.
I mean cyberspace isn't good for the environment either, but... to look up the few phone numbers one needs takes less energy then producing a whole new phonebook.
For example one google search uses up the power of a bulb that would emit light for 1 whole hour, all those servers use a horrendous amout of energy. Still phonebooks do more harm to the environment as you see..
Antigoblinius 3 years ago
I still dont think you understand...what harm does a phone book do to the environment??? You care so much about the environment, you must not drive a car then right...you must walk everywhere...Get over it, its just a phone book!

Why to love your phonebook? Because of the paper smell (snif, snif: "aaaahhh great!!!").
Old paper smell like the smooth flavour of coffee oh yeah!
Old paper, some Middle-aged mysterious thing.
But, indeed, useless if you have computer with internet. And that internet connection/service is very expensive if you live in certain countries.

Geez, I can't express how right you are! I really feel the same way about newspapers! Just imagine how many trees are cut down every day and turned into newspapers! Well, yeah, okay, newspapers are probably a little more useful than phonebooks but still... Tell me if I'm wrong!

Do you have a computer? Good lord worried about the trees? your computer uses power which is a natural resorce. Instead of complaining online with your computer you should have just called and asked not to get them. People make a living outta those phone books.

Hi K80Blog, Those books represent the livelihoods of countless, nameless advertising account reps whose life's work it is to convince local businesses to spend significant bucks to have their names emblazoned within those hallowed pages. Thus saith the Lord of ATT, Amen. This comment was brought to you by the number 8.
kenbank 4 years ago
They'll never get rid of the phone books until local businesses stop paying for all the advertising in them. Until then, AT&T will never turn down the almighty buck they so easily continue to make off the other corporate minded idiots still willing to purchase what amounts to be an increasingly obsolete way to advertise. AT&T could care less about us not wanting the damn things or even how relevant they are in today's world, as long as it lines their pockets with corporate ad money.
loveismagick 4 years ago
With all the (literally) billions of pages they print yearly for every (soon-to-be obsolete) phone book in this country and elsewhere, hopefully they are all made out of recycled paper to begin with?
Nah, that would be too much like right. :\

we don't need any paper at all, we haven't for about 10 years, but old people like to "feel the book in their hands" and "cuddle up next to the fire with a bottle of wiskey and a book" or some other weird fetish, and that's why we're still cutting down trees. all we can do is wait for all of them to drop dead, it'll happen soon enough.

Not everyone has computer, not everyone is computer savvy, not everyone has the interent. Have spoken with an older person lately? There are many who don't use the internet for such purposes. Call your local phone company and have them stop delivering. Plus, you can recycle phone books here too. Don't assume everyone has the technology that you do.
