Even if they are relying on a mass mailing list, it seems like it’s not being pushed any more aggressively than any other program aimed at students. High school students get a lot of pressure for everything from student organizations to the damn yearbook.
That said, all I can see so far is Jeanster getting worked up over the fact that this guy made a bad decision. Yeah, some of the marketing tactics may be a bit sleazy, but ultimately, what it comes down to is, the guy had the right to say no. If he felt pressured, it was either a zealous sales rep or his inability to say no.
