Yeah, I got the same email not too long ago from several people. I've gotten into the habit of skimming over the forwards, grr-ing, and deleting. I used to respond to ever one that was offensive and/or incorrect by being photoshopped/wrong info, etc. It all seemed to go in one ear and out the other -- no one cared. They got to ruffle their feathers and press the forward button to pass the "feather ruffling shit" to dozens more.
I especially "liked" (note sarcasm) the one I got from my mother a couple years back that had pics of a deceased child holding a rosary and claiming something along the lines of, "oh she might have died in a horrific tragedy, but she's a *christian*, so it's ok.", to which point my head exploded and so did a nasty email back. Didnt stop the forwards from coming; which doesnt surprise me since she sends to anyone she emails, a link in her signature to aborted "babies"/fetuses, followed by scripture.
I guess some folks get baited by what ever emotion a forward is designed to bait and even the more "accepting" population can get caught up in the verbal diarrhea. Boo.
