Stop sending me chain letters, for G-d's sake! It's bullshit. It's lies. The cute little kid doesn't have brain cancer. AOL doesn't give a shit about sick kids. Hell, they screw the healthy ones.... Why would a little brain tumor change anything? ARGH!!!!!! Everytime my friends send me some chain letter I send them a link to the Urban Legends about it. I tell them all they have to do is click on a link and save everyone a little time in opening some bullshit email. They never listen. Today I got this in the inbox:

Subject: If u delete this ur truly mean(seriously)
Hello, My name is Krista Marie and I have a new born baby named Natalie. She means the world to me, and just recently, the doctors have discovered that my little Natalie has Brain Cancer. Unfortunately my husband and I don't have the money to pay for the bill. But my husband and I have worked out a deal with AOL and they have agreed to give us 5cents to each person that received this e-mail. So please, forward this to everyone you know, and help out my little Natalie and I.

The clincher was the subject line: If u delete this ur truly mean(seriously) WTF?!? I hate these damn things (http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-natalie.htm). This one was ridiculous. The link is to a completely different baby. I emailed my other friend not to even think about emailing me that damn letter. She laughed and told me she was about to hit the send button. Imagine if more people checked out the Urban Legends (http://urbanlegends.about.com) website before sending some ridiculous email about babies with brain cancer or Taco Bell dogs running across the screen if you send the email to 11 people now, now now! It would leave more room for jokes and funny pictures. Oh yeah, and the occasional work email, too. :whome:
