Dicks by mail: anonymous candy gag gift.
The infamous Dicks By Mail venture is back in the news, after a Dallas, Texas professional is suing the gag gift company.
Melody Lenox, an Axxess Technology Solutions employee, received a package of penis-shaped candy in the mail.
Citing other instances of online harassment, Lenox is now suing Dicks By Mail so that they disclose who ordered the candy shipment.
She wants to find out if it’s the same person who keyed her car and made hoax posts on Craigslist.
According to the Terms of Service at DicksByMail.com, whoever places an order for a shipment of candy dicks agrees to the following:
“You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Dicks By Mail and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.”
Dicks By Mail identifies its product and shipments of dick-shaped candy as a way of inducing well-meant humor, not to harass:
“This site was created to put a smile on peoples faces. It’s not meant to be a threat or a way to bully. If you are sending this with the intent to ruin someones day, then maybe its you who needs to eat a bag of dicks.”
