Many of my friends are sending me the ridiculous emails that are supposedly from banks and internet companies. These messages claim to be giving the recipients all kinds of money when they pass them along. Who buys into this stuff?
No capitalist company is going to give you something like that for emailing someone else. It's also the idea that if you understand authorship ideas, the situations they explain would not have happened until after the message is sent. How would they know if money or a TV, etc. was coming their way prior to sending it?
Are we so greedy that the idea of getting something for doing something so minimal seems realistic? Please use some critical thinking skills, people.
