Why do I still get e-mail petitions about Bonsai kittens? [View All]

[antigone382]

I've already ranted about this on another website, but it just didn't assuage my rage, so I'm going to do it here.

And I'm not talking about petitions that say the website itself is stupid, in bad taste, and potentially harmful for the ideas it gives people. I can understand that sentiment, even though signing some forwarded petition is going to do exactly jack to stop it. No, I'm talking about people--friends of mine who I WOULD like to consider intelligent--who genuinely believe that there's some guy in New York shoving cats into glass jars...and that any cat could actually survive such treatment for any length of time, much less all the way to adulthood.

THEY AREN'T FRICKIN REAL PEOPLE!!!

While we're at it: Jamie Bolger's killers got out of prison five years ago (do the math: he was killed in 1993, and that forward says they were getting out of prison after eight years...1993 + 8 = 2001), and a petition signed by a bunch of American high school kids and sent to the Queen of England or who-the-hell-ever isn't going to do anything about it anyway. There are no poisonous spiders from South America hiding underneath your toilet seat. Very few women actually need an e-mail that has been forwarded five hundred billion times to tell them that following strange men into empty parking lots to participate in a pizza taste test is not a great idea. That warm-n-fuzzy message from George Carlin? He wouldn't wipe his ass with it. And that guy who supposedly had his dead wife preserved and put in a glass box in his living room? Do I really even need to insult your intelligence enough to tell you that it's a hoax?

Snopes, people, Snopes! Use it...then I won't have to point out what a gullible idiot you are for believing this stupid crap. Now I'm going outside to do some yard work before I have an aneurysm.

:rant:

Oh, and umm...this isn't directed at any DUers...just people that I know.
