I still get them, only now over facebook or AIM. Grrr... and the thing is, it's usually those really nice, naive people whom you couldn't tell off even if you tried.
I get them too. Everyone I know has been told - repeatedly - that if they send them to me, they'll stop right here. Still they come up with something 'special' that they're sure I won't be able to resist.
They're wrong.

My friends used to send them to me through AIM and e-mail. They came by the bucketload. I told them to never send them to me, yet they still came. However, I did do something to them that caused those damn e-mails to stop...
Now, I get them through myspace. One of the many reasons I hate myspace. Along with netspeak/l33t-speak and pics of underage drinking.

Gah. I hate these things. They're everywhere. E-mail, myspace, AIM. "Some random lady will come ito your room tonight and kill you if you don't pass this on." What the hell?
"While some feel it is a film related question, I seem to think it may be a 'I am thinking of losing my winkie' sort of question." -cheezedoodle
I don't really get them anymore, but it's always fun to see the latest stupid one that's making the rounds on everyone's Facebook wall.
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
--NYU student quoted in the Washington Square News about students ignoring the frequent fire alarms in dorms
All I get at myspace are those idiotic chain e-mails. Hence the reason I spend zero time on myspace.... well among other things.

I used to get so many, but I don't think I've ever sent one out. MySpace is crawling with chain bulletins, emails, and sometimes comments. I hate them.
I don't really get any, but one of the people back home, I wouldn't call her a friend, recently sent me a lovely one:
Dear All, A pornographic movie is being shot and is intended to show up in America soon, which shows Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals. The same way as a play that has been in the theater halls for a while. It's called Corpus Christi which means The Body of Christ. It is a revolting joke of Our Lord.
But we can make a difference, that's why I'm sending this e-mail to all of you.
Could you, please, add your name to this e-mail's list's end. If you do so, together we may be able to ban this movie from being shown in America. Apparently, some regions from Europe have banned the movie already. All we need is a lot of signatures! Remember, Jesus said: "That who deny Me before men, I will also deny Him before my Father which is in heaven."
Please, do not simply forward!!!
Please, select(highlight) all text, copy this message (CTRL+C), open a new message, paste (CTRL+V) in the new message and then add your name at the end of the list, plus send to all your contacts.
When the signatures get to 500 names, please send them to: homasg@softhome.net And then start it all over again...... IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT!!!! Thanks!
1. She knows I'm gay. 2. She knows I'm a fan of drama. 3. She knows I would hate this forward, and everything it stands for.
