Jesus hates chainmail and similar bullshit ..
Maybe it's just the fact I'm finding more and more reasons to hate people lately, but it seems like this whole chainmail and forwarded e-mail stories thing is getting way out of control.
It feels like only a year ago (though the acid flashbacks make it hard to tell how much time has actually gone by), that these e-chainmails and forwarded stories (the ones with some deep and meaningful undertones) would only seldom arrive in my mailbox. I actually didn't mind them too much, because I'd always browse through them quietly, and chuckle just at the end, simply because I knew that I would never speak to the person who sent me the trash again - as they'd been put on my permanent "idiot list".
There's no huge problem with the above scenario, it's a good way to find out which of your friends are retarded, and which aren't. Unfortunately it is now out of control. I'm running out of friends - all the ones I have left are people who don't use the internet, seriously. I beg them not to even get a computer, because I know eventually it will lead to an internet connection, shitty chainmails, and me having one less person in my friends network.
.. it's as if the creators of e-chainmails and forwarded stories (likely some fuckers wearing capes and masks in the depths of a secret cave, laughing maniacally at each new piece of shit they construct and send to my friends) have slowly diversified over time as well. It's no longer just stories about a blind boy getting a puppy for free because you can't buy love, or a chainmail that promises each time you send it to your friends, some starving child in Botswana will get a grain of rice .. no, now it's moved on to much more lucrative shit. "Sign up 5 of your friends and get a free item that you really didn't need in the first place, but seeing as it is free you can't possibly turn it down", "Help me update my address book", "Join this generic named friends network and receive a million free phone text messages worldwide", "Put in your e-mail address and you will live forever". You know the shit I'm talking about. It's fucking ridiculous.
I'm begging the evil masterminds behind all of this junk to please have mercy on my friendship circle, and to save themselves from the fires of hell by ceasing this relentless barrage of pointless prose sent to my inbox daily.
Save a life and stop e-chainmail, have a nice day.
