    Soo we all get them.

    I'm not talking about scam emails, but those chain or petition ones asking you to send it on, to see how far the email will travel.


    And if your signed up to bebo or myspace, you get alot of them. Because alot of idiots seem to think they are either a good cause (those offensive sign here to save non-existing child with cancer.) or think they have magic powers (those ones that promise to reveal who has a crush on them.)


    But what has been the stupidest, most idiotic one you have ever got.


    Well tonight I got one that took the biscuit for me.

    An annoying girl I know from an old job sent me this beauty tonight.

    WHEN U ALREADY START READING THIS DONT STOP OR ELSE SUMTHIN BAD WILL HAPPEN
    .... MY NAME IS TEDDY...I AM 7 YEARS OLD WITH BLONDE HAIR AND SCARY EYES. I
    HAVE NO NOSE OR EARS. I AM DEAD. IF U DO NOT SEND THIS TO eveybody on friend list IN THE NEXT
    5 MIN., I WILL APPEAR TONIGHT BY YOUR BED WITH A KNIFE AND KILL YOU. THIS IS
    NO JOKE SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U TONIGHT AT 10:22. SOMEONE WILL CALL
    U OR TALK TO U ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU. DONT BREAK IT.


    my god. It doesnt try to be subtle in any way does it?

    This is the proof that there are more stupid people in the internet these days.

    I remember there were chain mail that were at least entertaining in that they told a half decent spook story or have one of those unusual photographs, but come on. This is pure laziness.


    If your going to be an annoying prat, at least have the decency to be a creative annoying prat.

    I get all mine on bebo. The amount of "OmG!!!!!!! If yOu SeNd this to all of your fRiEnds then you'LL get an exTra box at tHe bottOM saYiNg wHos bEEn viewinG yOuR HomEPaGe!!!!"

    The dumbest one? Hmm, probably the simple "If you send this on to everyone you know then the love of your life will show tomorrow. If you don't you'll never experience true love!! Don't break it!"

    lol I got that one before I burst out laughing, some people are absoloute ****in retards, couldn't believe the amount of people that actually sent me that one, I mean how stupid can someone get


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 433 ✭✭me and the biz


    I know for a fact that someone I know forwards these on to me specifically because she knows I hate them. They are designed to annoy, I wouldn't think too many people believe in them.

    I'm probably wrong though, people are idiots.

    Don't care how important u think u r..read and repost this if you don't believe it, call the number. Everyone needs to take the time and read this. Just take a break from all your other stupid bulletins about who is gonna die or if your love life will suck for 7 years and be serious and do the right thing. Repost this or you have no soul seriously. A kid needs our help so do the right thing.
    Hi, my name is Matt Dawson. I am 23 years old, and I have a large tumor on my brain and severe lung cancer. The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. "The Make A Wish Foundation" has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is reposted. For those of you who repost, I thank you so much. But for those who don't repost it, I will still pray for you. Please, if you are a kind person, have a heart. Please, please, PLEASE REPOST THIS MESSAGE AS "READ PLEASE"!

    Please feel free to call me for anything.

    *hey it wont cost you but 10 seconds of your time

    This is by far the best (dumbest) one i've recieved.


    Mom, I'm forwarding this one especially for you. I know you don't
    usually
    buy into these e-mails but I hope you have enough sympathy in your
    heart for
    this very sick little boy to forward this one!! I love you .... Missy






    My name is Billy Evans. I am a very sick little boy.

    My mother is typing this for me, because I can't. She is crying. The
    reason
    she is so sad is because I'm so sick. I was born without a body. It
    doesn't
    hurt, except when I try to breathe.

    The doctors gave me an artificial body. It is a burlap bag filled with
    leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of
    us
    having no money or insurance.

    I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy
    doesn't work because she said nobody hires crying people. I said, "
    Don't
    cry, Mommy and " and she hugged my burlap bag. Mommy always gives me
    hugs,
    Even though she's allergic to burlap and it makes her sneeze and chafes
    her
    real bad.

    I hope you will help me. You can help me if you forward this email to
    everyone you know. Forward it to people you don't know, too. Dr.
    Johansen
    said that for every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates Will
    team
    up with AOL and send a nickel to NASA. With that funding, NASA will
    collect
    prayers from school children all over America and have the astronauts
    take
    them up into space so that the angels can hear them better.

    Then they will come back to earth and go to the Pope, and he will take
    up a
    collection in church and send all the money to the doctors. The doctors
    could help me get better then. Maybe one day I will be able to play
    baseball. Right now I can only be third base.

    Every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take more
    prayers to
    the angels and my dream will be closer to coming true. Please help me.
    Mommy
    is so sad and I want a body. I don't want my leaves to rot before I
    turn 10.

    If you don't forward this email, that's okay. Mommy says you're a mean
    and
    heartless bastard who doesn't care about a poor little boy with only a
    head.
    She says that if you don't stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden
    stomach, she hopes you die a long slow, horrible death and then burn
    forever
    in hell.

    What kind of cruel person are you that you can't take five freaking'
    minutes
    to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and
    shame
    about ignoring a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy? Please help me.

    I try to be happy, but it's hard. I wish I had a kitty. I wish I could
    hold
    a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty that wouldn't chew on me and try
    to
    bury its turds in the leaves of my burlap body. I wish that very much.

    Thank You,
    Billy " Smiles " Evans

    They're "fowards", not really chain letters. Unsubscribe from BEBO and you probably won't get another 600.

    Has anyone heard of the chain letter that my kids got this week, where apparently its being monitored by An Post ! the kids have to send on the letter to 6 other pals and mark the envelope 'Guinness Book of Records' and if they keep it going till the end of 2008, it will be a world record ! nothing offensive in the letter, but trying to explain to an 8yr old that the men in the post office dont really have the time to check every letter to look out for 'Guinness Book of Records' has been tough !!!!!!

    I get quite a few via e-mail.
    Usually from the same friend (female).
    Pass this one or little Timmy will get super AIDS.

    I think the new breed of happy-clappy chain letters are even worse than the old threatening ones. Every day I get at least one promising me health, wealth and happiness if only I forward it to everyone I know within five minutes.
    And what's with the 'Please keep this going around the world, it's for breast cancer' ones? I can't see what sending an email to lots of people will do for anyone with an illness.

    I never get them from guys, always from women.
