RW'ers are trying really hard by rerunning old emails...
My relatives sent me this one that took about thirty seconds to debunk. They are very pro-Shrub and RW, so it doesn't surprise me that they resurrected this old scare tactic.

Corpus Christi

A film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in Theaters for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means, "The Christ Body." It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. Will you
please add your name to the bottom of the list at the end of this
e-mail? If you do, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in America. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need is a lot of signatures!

Remember, Jesus said "Deny me on earth and I'll deny you before my
Father".

Hit forward, fill in who you want to send it to, scroll down to the last name (mine) and add yours to the list. When it reaches 500 please send to:
IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS. Thank You!

But you are right to be cautious.

7. You mean another tax levied by the lower taxes party?
That'd really make their heads explode.

9. And don't forget the M&Ms one!
I got this one right here that says M&M-Mars leased an e-mail tracker (what? They're too broke to BUY one?) that can tell how many times a message has been forwarded, and if you're the 2000th person to forward the message you get a free bag of M&Ms.

Now come on, we all know spam is spam but can you really resist the delightful taste of delicious M&Ms?
