Got one of those really fucking stupid emails yesterday:
See below plus my response.

Hi Every One

This is the same sort of shit that people send saying that Verve Clicquot will send you ten cases of their best champagne, not likely as one bottle is worth more then the Zimbabwean national budget, what could they possible gain from sending us precious little Africans 10 cases?
Anyways I spoke to the Brand manager of brutal fruit and they know nothing about this. Dodgy companies, with no clue on how to effectively run any form of authentic marketing campaigns do this to build their databases.
Be warned of this or you will be receiving tons of mails everyday on how to increase your penis size or some character that works in a bank that wants to deposit 100 million dollars into your account, trust me I get this on a daily basis after a friend copied me in on a mail to win an overseas holiday.
I have been sent this by three mates and replied to everyone they sent it to, see the numbers? perhaps there is method in their madness…

Yea...it's amazing how many stupid people there are out there who believe they're gonna get something for nothing. Like they say...there's no such thing as a free lunch! On a similar topic...was listening to Gareth this morning on 5fm and he was talking about another hoax email going round about Madiba being on his last legs and that the country will break out into a full-blown racial war when he dies. *sigh* Really!
No freaking way! Just got a mail from a friend. And guess what, if I "send this message to 10 people, with a copy to markp@spier.co.za. France will contact you in order to deliver to you a case of champagne in three weeks." I'm so tempted...maybe this time I'll gte lucky! *groan*
Damnn Spam!
