Did you ever receive this email stating that some three year old was raped in South Africa etc. This email has a big list of idiots who protest this hypothetical phenomenon. Then this email urges you to append your name and forward it to as many people as you can.
Ohh did you just ask how would that help? Noo you arent supposed to ask that question. Forwarding is fun isnt it? Afterall we are all given email ids and they have to be put to some good use helping mankind. Pure plain (#().
While its a serious issue - how on earth would forwarding that email help keep that CPU A.K.A child protection unit open? Get out there and help if you want to idiots.
This email also urges if you are idiot_number 120 to mark a copy of the same to that_poor_soul_getting_spammed@child_protection_agency_or_whatever.
Now watch this, I am this stupid birdbrain of whatever_gender [ I dont want to invite flames based on gender issues, although its observed that chicks often are seen to lack the analytical skills that are necessary to fight this scum. ].
So back to where we were, so I am this mortal_no_119 on the list and I work for this_company which has 2*119 number of equally idiotic populace working with me.
And I forward this to all@employer_of_idiots.com and eureka all my fellow idiots [all of them on number 120] send a copy to that_poor_soul_getting_spammed@.. .
Innovative ways to spam right? The success rate is dependant on how good did all the number_118s perform. Principles of any chain reaction apply here. Hence if you want to craft a scum like this in the name of Lord Balaji its advisable to choose a number of this order.

What disturbs me is when someone I know and thought "was" normal forwards me an email like that !! Ohh yeah and thats gonna leave out quite a few number of ppl who can_not read_this_post. Sorry buddy but Tuesday's gone.

You hit the nail right on the spot with this post. At least 10 minutes of my time used to be spent everyday hitting "Reply All" to such a forward and abusing the sender and including a snopes link. I say "used to" because all those mails stopped about a year ago. You might want to try it.
Oh, and thanks for err, blogrolling me, I believe is the term.
I do that usually but this one was smart,it was a blank carbon copy !!

I tried to find a pattern here. I guess I will not last long with Hercule Poirot. I know only one and principle of mathematical induction says i do not have a pattern yet if i can prove it only for one. The last one...the name is familiar
From little experience in names I could also find out that Jagdish is not a chick and is the odd one out...
Yeah, these guys need help. The last one? Yeah you do but there are couple of missing links after that too. [ No I am not manipulating the truth ]. There was something else I was pointing at, but then I am scared of secularists.
Also, I am thinking of blogging in Klingonese etc.
taHqeq??
