Why am I still getting these things delivered to my house and how do I make it stop? Seriously, WTF? Does anyone actually use one any more? Are your internetz broken? Save a freaking tree!
The Phone Book.

keep saving them, make a fort
what sucks even more is that you have to pay to not have your name listed. they have my old disconnected house number but they still list my address 
I live in a small town of about 4,000 people with very few businesses, and I have a land line (for emergency purposes, cell reception sucks). Telephone book is actually quite useful if I'm trying to call a small mom and pop type business that may not necessarily have a website.
Besides, is picking up a phone book and throwing it in the recycling bin if you don't want it really that much of a hassle?

never deny a white man a chance to be angry.
That's true. He's gotta fumble around and sort through a stack before getting his subscriptions to Better Homes and Gardens and Cosmo.
I flipped through one the other day just for old time sake.
Haven't had a landline in over 10yrs so definitely not listed in the phone book. Haven't actually used one in forever either.
There good to shoot stuff at in the basement.
Those arrive separately thank you very much. It goes straight into the recycle bin, it just baffles me that it even still exists as a viable form of advertisement/communication. Never mind the two "competing" books that history has shown me are also due on the doorstep here in the next couple days.
I could be wrong, but doesn't google maps (or the equivalent) pull its info straight from the phone book anyway? Or Yellow.com, for example, takes you to the website equivalent of the Yellow pages. There really isn't any reason to have a phone book other than for the phone company to sell advertising...
if that's true why not go right to the source? 
Use the phone to create memories!
The white pages are the fastest way to find the number of someone you know or a small business that doesn't have a website.
I get so tired of people calling me up to get somebody's number. Or people call my shop and when I refer them to another business, they ask for the phone number. Sometimes I look it up in the phone book for them if I think they could be a potential customer in the future. Otherwise I recommend that they use that big yellow book that everybody throws away.
I do hate the second-rate phone book. That one does go straight to recycle. They are usually out of date and never have the information I actually need.

I'm somebody now! Millions of people look at this book everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity - your name in print - that makes people. I'm in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

I usually tear it in half and throw it in the recycling bin.
this is a great thread
We used ours this past week to help get the fireplace lit. I'm surprised we had one in the house. How the hell it made it that far is beyond me.
maybe if you make a trap door on your door step to trigger when he rings your door bell. that way you can catch him and feed him to your dog cat or what ever you have. or you could tell them to stop bringing it but that seems to simple.
Phone books are still around for the same reason Buick is still a car brand. Old people. There are more of them than us and they have more money.
if you pay
How else do you pick your victims?
"Johnson, Navin R. Sounds like a typical bastard."
No, out of receiving them. I've had a cell phone for years and I don't care who looks up my address.
100 million people don't have teh innertoobz. Any more questions?
Pretty sure my phone book didn't contain that many names.
Where do babies come from?
Virginia
I have one.. What ever happened to MOOshoos being SEUD ???????????????
You think the phone companies can keep track? They may be the most inept organizations on the planet.Pretty sure my phone book didn't contain that many names.
The focus shifted to the new Mooshu.........SacredYeti.
I would say our govrnment first, phone book second.
