don't send this to 15 people, nor will you see a nude picture of britney spears if you do. This is a simple plea to GROW THE HELL UP.
I don't mind forwards, as a general rule. I get the odd one or two (every few seconds), and they're usually harmless enough. It's a certain type of forward which really ticks me off. Following are two examples:
EXAMPLE ONE:
Hello my name Jesus and I live in Africa! My daughter, she struck down with cancer! Mean old make a wish voodoo doctors say that they no pay me for life-saving operation (even though no operation can be performed for cancer unless tumor is benign my my my english good today! especially for english I mean African speaking person!) unless I forward pointless e-mail to hundreds
of fat lonely children on hotmail!! Then they give me ridiculously small sum of money per mail which not even sufficient enough to buy bread for me to eat. Forward to everyone or you will die from special african curse.
EXAMPLE TWO:
Hello, this is hotmail services. We regret to inform you (again) that if you don't forward this to 15 people (again) then we will shut down your account PERMANENTLY!!! (again). By the way, in case we forgot to tell you in the last few hundred of these, this e-mail carries special ENCODING!!! (which is impossible to input into an e-mail!) that will know how many times you forward this e-mail!! (Even though that would require different coding for every e-mail sent, and so could not be done on a forward and instead would
need to be individually sent to everyone on hotmail, and even then we would not be able to know how many forwards they've made because we'll never have our code back!! Waaah, I am sad!!) And yes, in case you were wondering, we
DO have hundreds upon thousands of staff who are sad enough to sit here and count these! And just because your friend who hasn't come on in the last 48 hours hasn't been deleted, don't think you're safe!! 24 hours is all ya got,
you little b***h!! Forward or die!!! MUAAAHAHAH!! FORWARD OR DIEEEE!!!

For god's sake, SHUT THE HELL UP. I do not CARE about your ridiculous campaign to get people to forward your pointless message. What kind of satisfaction does this bring? I can just imagine an overweight puberty-stricken "boy", his acne-ridden face lighting up as he slowly begins to jack off while checking his mail to see if his forward arrived back. You annoying little retards.....if I get ONE more forward like this, I'm going to go apeshit in a concentrated area. THIS MEANS YOU!
Okay, granted, I'm a hypocrite. I'm sad enough to write this, and I'm ranting about forwards in a forward, but hey, at least I'm not sick enough to use cancer as an excuse for forwarding some cheap crap. Cancer is a real problem killing thousands of people, families are being torn apart, and some bloomin' retard uses it as an excuse to see HOW MNY PPL WILL FWD MY MSG TODAY.
If you MUST have an obsession with getting things sent back to you, try this little experiment:
1. Take a brick. Any brick will do.
2. Throw it at the nearest person. Oh my...they don't look happy. But what the hey! You annoy one ...
3. People are starting not to like you. You're slowly building a reputation as "Brick boy", "Loser" and "F****t". Maybe throwing that brick wasn't such a good idea...
4. Uh oh! Looks like you've thrown one brick too many. These people look angry, and no matter how many times you threaten to PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN THEIR ACCOUNTS, they don't want to listen...
5. Take this time lying in a state of semi-consciousness in a pool of your own blood to reflect on the current situation. You have no friends. Most of your head is missing. And on top of that, you have this strange empty
feeling inside...was it all worth it? No. And now you're going to die. Oh well, you know what they say. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a public stoning for a mildly annoying e-mail.
I hope this has been both informative and educational, although I know, in my heart of hearts, that it has been neither.
Oh well.
