I think that basically, the main interpretation of receiving 1000 paper cranes, is the same as what everyone views as "art". Art comes in many forms, and not everyone will consider it art.
In this case, the receiver could see 1000 paper cranes as "art" and really take to heart what we're trying to achieve.
Or, they could view it as spam or trash and just an annoyance. It really all depends on the receiver.
(although, personally, I don't think that it would be too big of an annoyance, since the last 1,000 I sent to Disney were stuffed into a shoebox with a letter, it wouldn't be overly enduring to dispose of.)
yeah.
The follwoing assuming it was unsolicitated and or unasked for)
If someone sent me a cape and mask, I probably find that amusing.
Someone sent me a cake, even with good intentions, I'd probably look at it with suspicions and throw it out. Potential health reasons.
Someone sent me a bunch of coupons, it would be an annoyance, and straight garbage can fodder and if feeling froggy might send them a bill for disposal and trash bags and labor cost that it cost me to haul that stuff to the trash for pick up. Not expecting them to actually pay but principal of the matter.
Someone sent me a bunch of letters, slightly irksome, but might read a few.
Some one sent a box of stuff they made with paper but their cause is sound, probably wouldnt feel any sort of way about it but probably would end up in a closet collecting dust until Spring cleaning season. But may reply back letting them know I recieved their stuff and it was touchign but do not send anymore.
Someone sent a box of stuff but I didnt view them favorable or their cause was iffy or unheard of, then that would be highly annoying and might actually send an email requesting "dont send anymore stuff or else" type reply. AKA, lose my address, immediately.
While others might find all the above touching and favorable while others find all the above highly annoying and many may feel in between depending on who sent it and their mood.
Thinking back on it, if ya feel the risk is worth it, go ahead and send them all. They may get a kick out of it.
