To reply to my Father's moronic email ccing in all his Daily Mailesque friends thus...

[CountessDracula]

My father takes pleasure in copying me in to his stupid fascist emails about all sorts of DM type topics

Today he sent to me and a lot of others the stupid one about the holocaust not being taught in schools

Subject: FW: In Memoriam

Recently this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Moslem population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russia peoples looking the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth," it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide!

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain.

Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this

SO

I replied copying all of them in with a link to sophos and hoax-buster informing him that it was sensible to check such obvious drivel before forwarding en masse

Stupid twat he is

YANBU

I do that to my gullible friends, who email me about a child in America who has Leukaemia and needs an op to cut the tumour out.

I hit reply all and a link to Snopes.

The pap emails are ceasing, though the schmaltzy shit is still coming in vomity heaves of twattery.

Oh how sanctimonius of you.
I am clearly a twat and you must be so much more 'high brow' than me as I have never heard of Snopes or hoax-buster.
IMO YABU and need to chill out a bit

He is indeed a nob. He'd have to sharpen up considerably in order to be given the status of a vagina!

(Weird figures quoted in there - why 40 million people? Why not 6.5bn, if you are aiming that high? And in what way could 'the Russian people' be said to have looked the other way during WW2, given the emailer says 20m of them died?)

He he - had a bad day DKMA?

YANBU. Drivel is right.

DKMA, unless you are CD's FIL you are taking this far too personally...

I do this to my Mum and it doesn't stop her sending me new ones. But it can't hurt to try.
Particularly emails like that which are so blatantly lies intended to stir up ill-feeling against Muslims.
DKMA - yup, you are a twat.

I think a perceived patronising comment about sophos and hoax buster isn't nearly as offensive as suggesting the entire Muslim population belives the Holocaust didn't happen.

Ohhh CD you seem to have offended DKMA, I'll bet you have a higher brow than her

No - had a very good day tbh.
Sometimes I am a bit at people who seem to get all agro over bollocks.
I think everyone should just chill out and stop picking and moaning about little things.

Oh wait - I have spotted a true fact - WW2 did indeed end more than 60 years ago.

The rest of the email is utter shite though.

It is not a little thing DKMA. It is a VERY BIG THING. A little thing is one of those 'humorous' emails that tell you how much better things were in the 1950s or the excruciatingly saccherine 'uplifting' ones. I get scads of those from various family members and just bin them without replying. But serious misinformation like this needs to be challenged.

LOL!

I get an enjoyment out of replying to tedious en masse emails.

I got one a few weeks ago about how email is ruining our lives and to watch a particular programme on tv. So, I hit "reply to all" with a simple "Oh the irony" as my comment.

I also got one from my boss about the dangers of talking on mobile phones, and a convoluted set of pictures detailing an experiment where they strapped two mobile phones either side of an egg and made a call from one to the other that lasted 65 minutes. This apparently cooked the egg. So, again, I clicke "reply to all" with the comment "The lesson here is not to use two mobile phones at the same time, or to waste time and money on an hour long phone call to yourself. Obvious, surely?"

I can't help myself......

the 'little thing' was the whole shite email circulation - I don't read the content of any of them because they are shite - but I don't think the people who send them are all twats!? Usually their intentions are good?!

ROFL VVVQV - does it take long to think of such wit? I can never do it!

LOL! It's probably one of very few inspired moments during the day. Although some of these emails are just asking for it.

I'd do exactly the same thing, I do it on Facebook with the stupid "please help find my daughter" messages that do the rounds.

I used to live in 16-25 accomodation with support workers. I got a letter (as did all the residents) one day telling women how to stay safe, it was total drivel and I complained to the manager. She knew nothing about it so I told her she needed to make sure she knew what was being put through our doors in future because some people believe it. For a laugh

send this to folk who send me chain e-mails

Dear All,

My thanks to all those who have forwarded me emails this past year........

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat shit in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave them to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the £10,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program ......

Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants to split £7 million with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy petrol without taking a man along to watch the car to ensure that a serial killer won't crawl into the back seat when I'm filling up. I no longer go to shopping centres because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me. I no longer answer the telephone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum. And thanks to your great advice, I can't even pick up the £5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large seagull with diarrhoea will land on your head at 5:00pm this afternoon and the fleas from 12 mangy camels will infest your backside, causing you to grow a hairy lump. I know this will occur, because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.

By the way....a South American scientist, after a lengthy study, has discovered, that people with low IQ who have infrequent sexual activity, always read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

cd i would feel exactly as you did

imo, yanbu

sheik.....pure genius!!!!

SheikYerbouti - brilliant!

However... many years ago I used to work for a stationery manufacturer. I can assure you that you don't need to worry about rats' pee in the envelope glue - but the night shift workers did used to use the glue buckets occasionally!

Fortunately nowadays modern envelope making machinery uses 'hot melt' glue that comes in a solid block until it's used!

I do it too.. hit reply all and link to sites showing they're made-up shite.

Am PMSL at WanderingTrolly's.. "...the schmaltzy shit is still coming in vomity heaves of twattery..."

That sort of thing engenders more racial hatred and misunderstanding by claiming muslims are offended by teaching of the Holocaust.

A similar thing was sent around by my SIL. DH was pretty annoyed i. because his in box had this sort of shite being sent to it and ii. because a simple bit of research would have established that the not teaching about the Holocaust is cobblers.

Why do people just swallow whatever information is put before them? Nobody seems to be able to cast a critical eye over media in particular. By critical, I mean evaluation and reflection.

YANBU. For those who don't know Snopes is a fantastic place to check shitty spam emails.

"For those who don't know Snopes is a fantastic place to check shitty spam emails."

But why the hell would I bother with that? What's wrong with hitting the delete button and getting on with the rest of your life?

lol at "Recently this week"

Offensive, nonsensical and badly written.
I blame the immigrants.
