Ignorance continues to fight back; I got two copies of this mail yesterday:
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
The most sad and stupid part is that, reading down the email a bit, nearly everyone who forwarded it said something like “this is probably a hoax as it sounds too good to be true, but I’m forwarding it just in case”
Thank you, my friend. I got this email almost a year ago to begin with, now it seems to come around about every 3 months or so. Yea, right, Bill babe send me some money.
“Hey - it’s Uncle Bob - is this TRUE??? Guhhhh-huh-huh-huh??”
“Yes. Yes, it’s true. As a shareholder, I wholeheartedly approved this stellar plan to pay people $25,000 to forward Email around so that we can, um, ‘track’ that Email, for our…Beta testing…but only if you use Windows, so that we can, um, uh…determine how Windows will…eh, it’s all Marketing anyway!”
My favorite part: “Microsoft contacted me for my address…” Hilarious! Like we don’t already have his address and everyone else’s.
