Chain

I was checking my account of MySpace today and saw that there were new posts on the bulletin board, which is a place that you can post messages to your friends all at once.

There was an announcement from Risky Business about his band, numerous lame surveys but the one that got my attention was a stupid chain letter from my friend Tiffany. Here's what it said:

Everyone needs to take the time and read this. Just take a break from all your other stupid bulletins about who is gonna die or if your love life will suck for 7 years and be serious and do the right thing. Repost this or you have no soul seriously. A kid needs our help so do the right thing guys and gals.

Hi, my name is Chad Briody. I am 7 years old, and I have a large tumor on my brain and severe lung cancer. The doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. "The Make A Wish Foundation" has agreed to donate 7 cents for every time this message is reposted. For those of you who repost, I thank you so much. But for those who don't repost it, I will still pray for you. Please, if you are a kind person, have a heart. Please, please, PLEASE REPOST THIS MESSAGE!

For Christ's sake, how are people so ridiculously stupid? Seriously, who actually thinks that the Make A Wish Foundation will actually donate money for each time it's posted on MySpace? --- the answer? --- people with the equivalent brain capacity of a retarded armadillo.

Bill Gates is not going to pay you for forwarding emails with his "email tracking program." Foundations will not donate if you post bulletins online. You will not get rich by mailing $5 to the sender of the letter. You will not have eleventy billion years of good luck for mailing letters to fifty of your closest friends within the next twenty-five seconds and you will not have fantastic, mind-blowing sex within four days of forwarding a letter to people.

I like to believe that people are intelligent so why are, well mainly girls, falling for this? I don't know the answer. Also, why is it mainly girls? Are girls just less intelligent? Probably not. They must just be more prone to have a bleeding heart that wants to believe in the ridiculous fallacy that good things will happen without any hard work. Here's a tip, if you want to help out poor Chad, Billy or Sally, donate some time or money to a charity and stop wasting my time with your stupid chain letters.
