For the next 7-8 years or so, they continuously spammed me with their stupid flyers for their crappy service. It took my writing a nasty paper letter, registered USPS, to their corporate headquarters, in order for them to permanently remove me and my address from their mailing list.
You could have tried filing a USPS Form 1500, you just needed to admit that you find mail from "COX" to be "arousing".
if you are the addressee of an advertisement, and consider the matter (product or service) that it offers for sale to be "erotically arousing or sexually provocative,"
https://about.usps.com/forms/ps1500.pdf
extended by case law to allow the recipient to declare any mailpiece obscene, for any reason whatsoever, with no requirement to state the reason(s) for taking offense
The only absolute requirement is that it must be possible to construe the mailpiece as an offer to sell goods or services. Various rulings have upheld the Supreme Court decision that the postal customer's discretion is not subject to review.

Not worth it to deal with the USPS regulatory rigamarole, and besides which, I'm not sure I'd want to be claiming that Cox is "arousing". ::o
