a few weeks ago, my mom asked if i had rec'd something via e-mail from her. i came clean and told her that she'd been filtered.....

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

My mom and her friends are notorious for this. I've started going to Snopes and sending them there if it is false. The last one had something to do with a cervical cancer test doctors refuse to administer. I looked at snopes and the reason they refuse to administer it is because it isn't accurate.

I'm just doing my part to educate others about snopes.

[TopDaugIn2000]

I do the same. I'd much rather take the 30 seconds to look it up than just hitting "forward" and junking up other people's inboxes. I guess people are just too lazy or gullible or both.

Those emails are a scam by the Email Industry to make money.

Those emails are a scam by the Email Industry to make money.Well, I'm still waiting on Bill Gates to send me my Old NAvy gift card.

[TopDaugIn2000]

heh

[Mjcpr]

Well, I'm still waiting on Bill Gates to send me my Old NAvy gift card.

Wish in one hand, hold your SF Sponsor Gift in the other.....see which one fills up fastest.

I have no idea what that means.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I m still waiting for all that money to be transferred to my account so those Ukranian terrorists dont kill that dude

I won't stop until you stop with the Canadian Viagra ones.

Oh, and snopes.com RMFO

[TopDaugIn2000]

we should start some bogus email and see if we can get it on Snopes.

[Mjcpr]

we should start some bogus email and see if we can get it on Snopes.
That idea is so two months ago.

[TopDaugIn2000]

yeah, I know. But no one ever followed thru. so I thought I'd bring it up again.

[Cack]

what about the hundred million emails and myspace bulletins that say if you don't foward it on or post it ... you're denying God ... hhmmm ... either that or i've already seen this one 100 times today

[NormanPride]

Wouldn't it be funny if Snopes.com was itself a hoax? If the site for busting myths was itself a method of spreading misinformation?

Actually... no. That would be horrible.

Heh. Heh heh.

There is merit to your suggestion. :dolemite:

Let's see now...what should the subject be? It should probably be a recent news item that we can blow way the heck out of proportion, preferably from a local town newspaper so that the source isn't readily checked.

[Cack]

did ya'll ever hear about Peta coming to South Carolina to get us to take the spur off of our logo??

it might not have made it to you ... but me and the guys that started CockyTalk got this real peta letter ... and made our own ... i started the controversy by saying i heard peta was in town to talk to USC officials about changing the logo from a drunk guy in the bar the night before ... well later on in the day we posted that peta letter and all that ... it was GREAT ... it got posted on every single Gamecock board ... people were calling the school ... the news ... EVERYBODY ... it even got on most of the SEC boards

I am gravely concerned that the Republican administration is trying to make
me become the "next dead Kennedy". Those evil bastards did not like my
precious brothers John and Robert, and even sabotaged John-John's airplane
to protect their insane political stances.

I ask you to join me in voting demotractic this Fall, regardless of whom
is on the ballot. Even if Osama Bin Laden is running for Sheriff in your
county, vote for him, as long as he is a democrat. Together, we can
take our country back.


Sincerely,

Ted Kennedy

[TopDaugIn2000]

heh, I just got a reply from one of the senders that I informed about it being a hoax:

"Oh my goodness!! WHo would send something like that around!! That makes me so mad...I was so sad for that girl and her family!!"

[Scott D]

I emailed that sender to tell them that it was Dan Brown.

[slickdawg]

I emailed that sender to tell them that it was Dan Brown.


There's the gold. We make a letter from Dan Brown and spam it like mad.


Something about hating catholics and jesus needed some loving too, that ought to cause riots.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I emailed that sender to tell them that it was Dan Brown.

Dan Brown- Hey!! That E mail is a fictional fact...based on my research...

[Pricetag]

what about the hundred million emails and myspace bulletins that say if you don't foward it on or post it ... you're denying God ... hhmmm ... either that or i've already seen this one 100 times today
I delete those messages with extreme prejudice.

Two words:


Bird.
Flu.



YWIA!

[slickdawg]

This is ironic.

My sweet little niece, a very kindhearted kid, just sent me this 13 year old's e-mail.

I sent ther the snopes link.

Please let everyone know what has happened to my beloved Aunt Myrtle. She lives on a farm in East Texas and has always enjoyed raising chickens. Last weekend, Aunt Myrtle became violently ill, so my uncle took her to the hospital. It turns out she has gotten bird flu. The doctors said it may take her months to recover but because of her advanced age, she may die. The source of the bird flu was eating one of the chickens from her farm. Evidently the bird flu is seeping in through the chicken skin and into the meat. They urged our family to not eat chicken because of this.
