Idiots + Technology = Forwards

There are a lot of idiots out there. George Carlin once said "Think of the intelligence of the average man. Then realize that half the population is dumber than he is."

Want to know who this bottom half is? Check your inbox. They are the ones sending you e-mail forwards. They tell you of the power your cell phone has to unlock a car door from great distances, how to sign up for the "National Do-Not-E-Mail Registry" and about how a bullet impregnated a woman. (Nope. Not making this one up. Click here.)

How do we combat these idiots who have convinced the public so much that there are warnings on gas pumps not to use your cell phones for fear that the phone could start a fire? (Check next time you are at the pump. Despite this being a lie, some stations do have the warning on their pumps.)

One website has come to the rescue. Many have heard of it. But, just in case you haven't, check all that you get through http://www.snopes.com/ It is an AWESOME website.

With this information, you can paste the link on your "Reply All" to that dumb-ass e-mail forward you got. Hopefully soon all these idiots will be too embarrassed to resend crap to everyone in their address book - including you.
