Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Because people are naive.

Teenagers will believe almost anything.
Heck, I used to believe those stupid things.
Hopefully for most of them it's just a phase, because obviously none of that is true or going to work.
I say just ignore it; that's what I do.

hahah, oh how right Rahzie is !
also, those crazy messages "if you don't post this, a flying watermelon monkey will kidnap you in your sleep and send you to guatamala" or "if you don't post this, your dreams will be over" is just ridiculous. But still, people get scared. they second guess themselves.Then,if something bad does happen to them-they blame not sending the letter!When really its that they're focusing on something bad happening,seeing as they didn't send it. Fousing on things like that cause them to happen. Anyone can make one up, its all just words :p. Maybe that gives the makers of these things some satisfaction, tricking people,i mean- they go through all the trouble of making up this big story- for the raw glory of seeing it spread like wildfire.just ignore them :], and watch out for the flying watermelon monkies- you never know with them.
have a nice day !

People will cut off thier body parts, leap into flames, murder, maim, go to war, and betray pretty much everything they hold true or valuable in thier lives for the promise of love and the delusion it will bring them enternal happiness.
In the face of that degree of stupidty, I think it's pretty clear that people will hit copy and past a few times for the promise of love and the delusion it will bring them enternal happiness.
Do they actually believe it will work? I doubt it. I doubt the people who also wear the same underwear during the NHL playoffs REALLY think that helps thier team either. But human brains are wired to take the chance on such stupid rituals and draw connections and look for patterns even where it's IMPOSSIBLE that things are connected.
