So That Just Happened. For reals.
This has GOT to be the funniest thing to hit my e-mail that wasn't intended as an actual joke, or meme, EVAR! It starts off as an innocent notice from Dr. Odell Owens (the President of CIncinnati State Community and Technical College - who happens to be a real doctor, and served as county coroner here, among other things) to the student body about the college's approach regarding the Ebola Virus. Remember - this e-mail (the those that follow) went to the entire student body.

Dear Student,
Cincinnati State has been closely monitoring information about the Ebola virus and has added links to MyCState and the Cincinnati State website to provide quick access to the latest information from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ohio Department of Health and other sources.
To answer questions and address Cincinnati region-related health concerns, the Hamilton County Health District is available during business hours at (513) 946-7800. In addition, the Ohio Department of Health has activated a 24-hour-a-day call center for public health questions at 1 (866) 800-1404.
We are committed to keeping the campus well-informed and protected from communicable diseases to the best of our ability, and we will continue to monitor and follow guidance supplied by the CDC and the Ohio Department of Health. We also ask each member of the community to stay informed and to be proactive in sharing information as this international issue evolves.
Public health experts have stated that at-risk children and adults, and the elderly, are more likely to die from influenza this year than Ebola. As we enter flu season, please remember to follow good-health guidelines including washing your hands frequently, covering coughs and sneezes, getting your flu vaccination, and avoiding contact with others if you are acutely ill.
Thank you for your time and attention and for your help in keeping the campus a safe place to study, and work.

In response to Brian,
1) If you're going to email someone about a topic like accusing a Professor of racism please do not include the whole student body.
2) It is your responsibility to have all your documents and classwork ready BEFORE class.
3) A lot of classrooms do not allow printing thus why you should have went to the Lab room to print out your documents.
4) Seriously, how will Mr Owens take you seriously if your email looks like 4 year old wrote it?
