My Inbox is Full of Crap

  1. Mister Rogers was never a Navy Seal.
  2. Even if you forward an e-mail to 100 people, the Taco Bell dog still won't show up to do a dance on your screen.
  3. There is no way that the whole country will boycott buying gas on the same day.
  4. Denzell Washington probably hasn't written a check in years, and he didn't write one for a military hospital.
  5. If your wondering who's least likely to respond when you send me stuff like this...it's me.

People have a tendancy to believe what they read on the internet. I hate to break the news, but a lot of what you find on the internet is bull. Except porn sites...everyone knows how easy it is to get a beautiful, married, mother of 2 to have anonymous sex, right?

Anyway, all I'm asking is that the next time you get the urge to pass along life altering information that you got in an e-mail from someone, check it out before you fill my inbox with it. The easiest way is to go to Snopes. There's also a link to it over on the right (Urban Legends Reference Page). If you find something mind-boggling and it turns out to be true, feel free to forward it to me. I'm just getting a little tired of reading Andy Rooney speeches and George Carlin jokes that were probably written by someone who looks like the Comic Book Guy.

And if you're wondering about all of the other bogus stuff that's out there, I was going to write it down, but this guy summed it up pretty well. Now I'm off to buy some Viagra...I just got an e-mail about it from someone in Canada. You wouldn't believe the prices!
