I have received this email forward multiple times this week. Pretty much everyone that has sent this to me has a college degree, which obviously doesn't amount to any common sense.
Hey, I have a solution for over-population!!! There are currently X billion-trillion-gazillion babies born every day! If everyone would just stop f*cking for one day, we would have that many less babies this year!!!! LOLROTLFMLAOMOOOLOOLOLOLOL!!!
"Don't pump gas on Tuesday, May 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in
protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon
overnight.
On Tuesday, May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places. There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil company's
pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on Tuesday, May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this to all
your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on Tuesday, May 15th."
Yep, got it.
Thought about replying.
Decided not to.
I get the same ****, from people who ought to know better. Send a copy to everyone you know, and me, too, and good luck shall rain upon you. Ignore this warning and have bad luck for six months.
I'm hurt, I haven't gotten it.
Oh, wait... I haven't checked my email.
I hate that crap. Why would I want to annoy everyone in my address book as much as they've just annoyed me?
Ironically, we got the email from a guy who exclusively books travel cruises for gay people. (Dont ask). So, I was thinking of sending his email to , like Southwestern airlines or "Teabag Sailor Cruiselines"
I used to get that email all the time, but strangely, I haven't gotten any forwards in almost 3 years now! Nobody loves me anymore
If that kid from Sixth Sense got this email, he'd whisper, "I see stupid people...and they're everywhere."
I got a similar gas email, but it didn't try nearly as hard to sound noble.
"Let's all not buy gas on the 15th. People did this last year and brought the gas prices down BY THE VERY NEXT DAY!"
What if everyone stopped sending forwarded emails for just one day?! Should I start a mass email for that?
Well, at least that one's just stupid. I hate the ones that falsely stir up people's sense of righteous indignation--like one that went around a while back about one of those prime time religious-themed shows ("Molested by an Angel" I think) being taken off the air for anti-religious reasons. When I received it, I came very close to replying, "Dear Mom, are you sure I'm not adopted?"
I got a solicitation for an email petition (email petitions NEVER work. EVER), allegedly for MADD, telling me that if I didn't "sign" it and pass it along to 10 of my nearest and dearest, that "my selfishness knows no bounds".
Ooh, I'm selfish. Not wanting to spam my friends and family with crap tags me as a bad person who wants to see harm done to children.
Riiiight.
ohhhhh god.
My best friend who is FOURTY freaking FIVE years old still sends me that junk.
I get the " send this to your best friends to tell them you love them"
and it is some stupid animated dancing old woman cartoon
or some idiot poem
Since she is republican ( which is a laugh.. but for other reasons) she sends me alot of pro bush emails.
Strange one that little woman.
Probally why she is my friend.
Arrr.....sorry slappy I'll take you off my email list....
Why is it that perfectly smart people suddenly get really stupid the minute they log onto the internet?
I hate these emails. Do people actually believe it would work?

I have the same sort of friend - actually my husband's - sort of like a second mom/dad relationship so she is actually over 40 age range and she sends us all that crap especially the forward to ten friends - best friends huggy kissy sh*t. Lots of senior moment types and lots of mom stuff too. And lots of Christian propaganda (and I am Christian and it irrates me) and lots of Liberal bashing and Conservative pat on the back crap.
I used to get this sort of nonsense from my sister to our main email address. I told her to stop, because I just wasn't interested.
I think her feelings were a bit hurt (silence), but it's been great.
I use an alternate web email address that I use to sign up for stuff and that gets lots of spam. I don't care about that one though. It's very easy to delete all the emails that I don't want.

For the misinformation e-mails: people, even relatively intelligent ones, haven't figured out that Google's good for more than looking up porn and cookie recipes.
For the just plain stupid stuff: I really believe that the Internet has made communication too quick, easy, and convenient; you didn't get this sort of crap when folks had to stick stamps on envelops. When you had to send a letter, you put some thought into it. Now, let's forward all the inane silliness we get in our e-mail to our friends and family rather than writing a thoughtful communique to let them know we're thinking of them.
They have cookie recipes on Google?
Was a bit of a delay, but I finally got it. Sigh.
