Big companies don't do business via chain letters and there are no computer programs that track how many times an e-mail is forwarded, let alone by whom. Bill Gates is not giving you $1000, and Disney is not giving you a free vacation. There is no baby food company issuing class action checks. 2. Proctor and Gamble is not part of a satanic cult or scheme, and its logo is not satanic. 3. MTV will not give you backstage passes if you forward something to the most people. 4. The Gap is not giving away free clothes . You can relax; there is NO need to pass it on "just in case it's true." 5. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking up in a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend of yours swears it happened to a cousin. If you are hell-bent on believing the kidney theft ring stories, see: http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/library/weekly/aa062997.htm which says, "The National Kidney Foundation has repeatedly issued requests for actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and tell their stories." None have done so; that's "none" as in "zero". Not even your friend's cousin. 6. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe. And even if they do, we all have it. And even if you don't, you can get a copy at: http://www.bl.net/forwards/" that begin each line, either. And use some common sense -- if it has gone around that many times we've all probably already seen it. 12. Craig Shergold (or Sherwood, or Sherman, etc.) in England is not dying of cancer or anything else at this time and he would like everyone to stop sending him their business cards. He apparently is no longer a "little boy",either. 13. The Make a Wish Foundation is a real organization doing fine work, but they have had to establish a special toll-free hot line in response to the large number of Internet hoaxes using their good name and reputation. It is distracting them from the important work they do. Also, the American Cancer Society does not give 3 cents for each person you forward e-mail to. Theyask for you to donate money, they don't give it -- as if they could possibly know how many e-mails you sent out anyway! *Sheesh!* 14. If you are one of those insufferable idiots who forwards anything that "promises" something bad will happen if you "don't" forward it, then something bad will definitely happen to you if I ever meet you in a dark alley. 15. Women really are suffering in Afghanistan, but forwarding an e-mail won't help their cause in the least. If you want to help, contact your local legislative representative, or get in touch with Amnesty International or the American Red Cross. 16. As a general rule, e-mail "signatures" are easily faked and mean nothing to anyone with any power to do anything about whatever the competition is complaining about. 17. KFC really does use real chickens with feathers and beaks and feet. No, they really do. Why did they change their name? What was KFC's name? Kentucky FRIED Chicken. In this health-conscious world, fried is not considered healthy. So with the help of a focus group, they changed the name to KFC. It's short, doesn't offend dieters, and it's easy to remember. 18. Another thing -- just because someone said in a message, four generations back, that "we checked it out and it's legit," does not actually make it true. PS: There is no bill pending before Congress that will allow long-distance phone companies to charge you for using the Internet. The bottom line is, sending e-mail or posting something on the Net is as easy as writing on the walls of a public rest room. Don't automatically believe it until it's proven false. ASSUME it's false, unless there is proof that it's true. Now copy, paste, and send this to everyone you know or the program I just put on your hard drive while you read this e-mail will open up your CD-ROM and reach out and slap you upside the head. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 12:12:50 -0600 From: "Jennifer Cook" Subject: Just Introducing Myself! First off, my name is Jennifer and I'm from Houston, Texas. I'm 24 years old. I first heard Poe on a local radio station in 1996 on my way to school. I bought "Hello" sometime later, and I was hooked. I have just purchased "Haunted" (a little late, I know), and I haven't taken it out of my CD Player for two weeks. Other musicians I like? Well, I have very diverse music tastes, but here are just a few artists I'm extremely fond of... TORI AMOS (I love her most of all) Sheryl Crow Alanis Morrisette Ben Folds Five Semisonic Other interesting info about little ol' me? My only hobby is finding and listening to any new music I can get my hands on. I have a 5 year old daughter, who is probably the most witty kid on earth. (Okay, I'm a little biased, but oh well.) I can't think of anything else, so I'll end this here, but I'm really excited to be a part of the Angry Psychos!
