I HATE SPAM!!!
And no, I am not talking about the salty luncheon meat made out of the parts of the pig that they wouldn't even put in dog food. I am talking about email spam.
Although all of the genitalia enlargement and pharmacy commercial emails are annoying, the ones I hate the most are all the FW:FW:FW emails coming from so-called friends (idiots) and family (idiots) that are supposed to be cute or funny or inspirational.
These morons add your email to the hundred others they have in their address book on their computer and simply forward the garbage on to you. They then get upset when you ask them to stop sending you all the crap that you are just going to delete.
Although receiving these unwanted emails is annoying and takes up alot of mail box space, there are far worse things going on in the background that all of the idiots sending this trash don't realize is going on.
Every email you FW: to your friends contains all of the email addresses of everyone that has been forwarded this email previously (unless you remove them). Then every one who receives the garbage and forwards it on will add to the amount of email addresses in the list. Eventually, your email has been spread all over the world because some moron decided to send you some email about kittens or loving yourself.
It should be obvious to anyone with more than one brain cell in their tiny little heads that if people all over the world have your email address, you are more likely to get tons of those annoying drug store, stock quotes, porn or penis enlargement emails from companies that profit from sending out spam. Who do you really think starts most of these FW:FW:FW emails anyway? I guarantee that if I start some stupid email about caring and in this email tell people to send it to everyone they care about; within a couple of months, I'd receive the email back with hundreds of people's email addresses included.
Another problem that the having your email address spread all over the world is viruses. There are a great many viruses that search through your computer for email addresses and send out emails containing the virus to all of those people.
What in God's name are these FW:FW:FW idiots thinking? Do people really think that these emails are wonderful to receive? Is it really so nice to know that someone cared enough about you to click forward, add your email address to the hundred others in their address list and press send? I am sure that these idiots were thinking of you as they took 5 seconds out of their busy day to forward some stupid "You Know You Were Born In The 70s When..." email to you and 100 other people. I have news for you... YOU KNOW YOU WERE BORN IN THE 70s IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS BETWEEN 1970 AND 1979!
I HATE PEOPLE!
