Do these annoy the crap out of anyone else?
Lately I have recieved hoax emails forwarded on from friends about warnings of a date rape drug that makes women infertile... about the release of James Bulgers killers with a petition to stop it (even though they were released many months ago)... schools removing The Holocaust from the curriculum as not to offend Muslims and various if you send this on Microsoft... yahoo etc will give you a free laptop etc.
Dont people realise that its a whole load of tosh and highly fucking annoying!

Ducktales - woo-ooh
Re: Urban Legend emails
I have spam filters on all my email boxes so I don't get these annoying messages. If I do they go straight into the bulk folder where I delete them without even reading them.

Facebook is so bad for these that I have deleted some applications because of the spam- mainly SuperWall.
A trusted male friend was fooled by the date rape drug hoax and emailed all his female friends about it.
Although I haven't had any myself, remember Craig Shergold? The ill little boy collecting stamps? Well, although he's 20 odd and in good health now, the emails about this still do the rounds, with different names, sometimes now girls and sometimes Americans.

Re: Urban Legend emails
chainmails fuck me off immensely, I thought people had wised up to them years ago when they went round via email, now as has been said they seem to be back because of face book
it always amazes me how dumb some people are in falling for them
when I get one i look it up on here and send the link back
