If I receive this friggin e-mail one more time about the stolen ryder trucks, I am going to lose it. Stop being so damn gullible and do some, dare I say, RESEARCH!!! Every time I get one of these, I do the same damn thing and I would urge others to do it as well. I hit the “reply all” button so I can respond to as many lemmings at one time as possible. Then I direct them to either http://www.vmyths.com or http://www.urbanlegends.com. And then two weeks later, IF THAT, I get another fucking chain letter or hoax. These people shouldnt be allowed to be on a computer if they don’t have the capacity to get this through their head. Arghhhhh!
This crap helps to tax an already overburdened investigative system and does nothing but create panic amongst the idiots! For a link describing this e-mail and the strain in puts on the system click here
Thank you. I have not yet (thanking the merciful deities) received this one.
I sit ready, with my mouse on ‘reply’ and plenty of cyberammo to fire back.
(FWIW - I thought your last word was ‘anvil’. Much better mental picture - “Knee-jerk reaction? Here, let me drop this on your foot…”.
Thanks for reminding me, my parents are getting back from a week in Mexico. I assume that I will be opening my email tomorrow with all kinds of hoax emails from my step-mom…argh. I love my family but they constantly send me shit that are too unbelievable to begin with.
Oh and if those emails were true, you’d think the media would jump all over the story. Not the tabloids but the regular media.
Ah, I sent those very same links to my parents after they mass forwarded that hoax email. So far, I haven’t gotten any more hoax emails forwarded from them (used to be one a week on average). Wonder if they’re talking to me?
Seems like a small price to pay to stop those e-mails:)
I’ve actually had people get offended that I sent those links and rained on their parade. Some have even continued to believe after going to the link. Sometimes the truth hurts, I guess.
Ah, just had the every other week phone call with the parental units. They are doing well. Dad said he forgot to put the “Look at this garbage! Can you believe folks actually think it’s real!” line in the email. (Okay, he’s my Dad fer-cryin-out-loud. I gotta pretend he’s telling the truth on this one.)
Oh, and he mentioned that he knew OJ would get acquitted because the other guy screwed up by chasing him down. Dad says, and this is a quote:
