FWD:

Have you ever met someone who seems to be a great person?

FWD: George Bush Prays for Peace

Someone you actually like? Someone, after developing a reasonable comfort in your relationship, you decide to initiate email contact with for the first time.

FWD: Emergency recall on Baby Formula

After a few pleasant cybernetic interactions a pattern emerges.

FWD: Is Your Virus Filter Fighting Against You?

After what would seem like, thousands of email forwards, jokes and internet hoaxes later you realize with great trepidation that you've been the victim of over communication. Except its not even communication. It's more like pollution. Inbox pollution. Communicative abuse.

FWD: Who Have You Prayed For Today?

FWD: Rock Star Believes In God

Countless emails emerge describing Bill Clinton's close encounters with marijuana, a local hero's funeral in Lakota, Swiffer WetJet warnings and a withdrawal of said Swiffer warning after finding out that the whole thing was a hoax but not before sending it to thousands of recipients. And you have to ask yourself...where is Lakota anyway?

I guess I'm here to tell you that I'm the latest victim of the ongoing communicative abuses of our society.
