Just been reminded of my absolute No. 1 pet hate... People who keep spamming me inviting me to join in compaigns that are complete bollocks and not bothering to check their facts and just joining in with the rest of the sheep. For example:
"Jamie Bulger's killers are going to be freed and have their names changed - it's a disgrace!!! Sign this petition to stop it happening!!!" (except it happened a decade ago so it's a bit f**king late to do anything now)
"During the 1987 Iran-Contra hearings, Oliver North warned Congress that Osama bin Laden was "the most evil person alive" and that "an assassin team should be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth. Do not break the chain. Send this email to everyone you know!!!" (no really, please don't, it's utter bollocks)
"This poor dog was starved to death for an art exhibition, let's all kill the artist in protest" (except the dog was probably perfectly fine and there's not one shred of evidence that it was harmed in any way at all...)
"If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you." (Yep, when the machine refuses to accept your PIN, it's just buying time for you, honest!!)
"A bloke in Swindon called DJ Dust likes to sacrifice virgins and then dance on their corpses. Honestly it's true!! Sign up here to have him flogged to death in the local stocks" (actually, that last one is true so, spread it globally, I've no doubt that thousands of people would sign up..)
*waits for someone to start the above group on Facebook..*
