Fuckin' nimrods... I guess having an email account doesn't mean
you're the least bit intelligent... Yes, this is a chain letter, feel
free to delete because it's as lame as most of them, but I'm sending it
on because as I'm cruising down it reading the little comments people had
about it, I began to realize that they actually BELIEVED that they would
die if they didn't send it on. Like, all of them believed it. Are people
really that stupid, to think that not re-sending an email will actually
cause them to die? I thought our society had advanced a little bit...
guess not.
I'm thinking about extracting all the email addresses out of this
thing and sending them all a letter indicating my revulsion at their
ignorance...
