of emails and Facebook statuses that end with the phrase,
99% of people won't have the guts to [forward this/post this as their status].
The fact is that most of us won't forward it or repost it because we wish to hell you hadn't sent it to us in the first fucking place. STOP SPAMMING ME WITH MULTI-FORWARDED BULLSHIT.
Obviously I don't Facebook that much, because I've not encountered this yet. Sounds to me like a great idea to unfriend someone.
The worse are the ones that try to push the God guilt button, usually with the verse about being ashamed of Jesus. Because, you know, God is so all about being passive agressive to make you prove you love Him. *headdesk*
What prompted this outburst is my cousin up in The Region who persists in reforwarding email crap I've either seen a gazillion times or could care less about to start with, and does it without even bothering to adduce a subject line.
I got to the point where I wrote a filter that just throws anything from his address that doesn't have a unique subject line into the trash. And I told him I was doing it. Didn't stop him, unfortunately.
The term for that is "matrispam", from the idea that you saw it three years ago (and it was old then), but it's in your inbox now because your mother just got e-mail.
Yeah, I get that, too.
