Chain Mails

It saddens me that not only are stupid people breeding, but they have email and Internet! Chain mails have become a recent pet peeve of mine. It never ceases to amaze me how long chain mails live for – and how many times people forward the stuff on!

Granted – I have offended a lot of close friends by my opening statement, but, this entry is not aimed at them. It is aimed at all the ignorant people out there who do not question this stuff – perpetuating the cycle, and feeding the evil, chain mail monsters.

Surely a mermaid found in Uganda; plot to kill of white South Africans; a conspiracy to stop Christian programs shown on TV would of generated a lot more buzz – it would have been on the news, in the papers, in magazines and not rely on emails to inform people. But, I suppose that these people don’t watch the news much. Or at all. Ever. Unless of course it’s because their favorite pop star has just committed themselves into rehab, again.

If it’s not some form of protest, it’s some kind of curse – “if you don’t forward this in 3 seconds, you will never have sex again, and be plagued by mutant jelly babies by the name of Bob”. Yip, there’s some kind of “super intelligent email entity” (apart from Google) that keeps track of everything you forward, and will send legions of evil jelly babies to eat you, if you don’t forward these blasted things on. There’s also a monster under your bed.

It is somewhat reassuring though that there are millions of people out there who despise chain mails, and are making a concerted effort to combat them. Check out breakthechain.com, or simply google the mail myth. Far too many people fall victim to chain mails – break the chain, and save yourself the endless frustration.
