forward this blog

i just got another godamn forward from someone who didn't have the common courtesy to blind carbon copy. so now i can expect 432 replies from every jackass who also doesn't have the decency to "reply to sender" or "b.c.c.", but replies to everyone else that got the stupid thing. i don't want to hear about the angels in iraq, or spend 15 minutes looking at pictures of a kitten with a bong propped in front of him as if he smokes pot.

i think forwards like this are worse than surveys. at least with a survey you get the illusion that the person who sent it wants to know what you would choose: eting a sandwich from a homeless man, or licking a handrailing in the subway? but we all know this is just a guise because they really just want us to read their answers and laugh at how clever they are. a forward is just cut and paste soapboxing. it's a hallmark card that can be a little more politically slanted than a greeting card company would allow.

i know what you may be thinking, isn't that precisely what a blog is? an internet based soapbox for me to bitch about soapboxing? no. the difference is that you came here on your own volition. you're not reading this from your inbox along with 982 other victims who had no choice but to get chained to the water cooler for the next 4 days because it wasn't b.c.c.'d.

forward are usually stupid, but if one must keep their friends in the know about the latest "chickenlittle-x virus", please have the decency to keep our anonymity intact. don't be a dick.

p.s. if you know anyone who does this and pisses you off, forward this blog to them along with 33 other emails.
