I swear, if I never receive another annoying email forward in this life, I'd be one happy man. Jokes to brighten my day, funny pics, sappy dribble that supposed to make me feel good to be alive, and make my day. The latter, of course, is my email forward pet peeve. I mean, if I ever feel the need to projectile vomit all over my flat screen, I've got ten good fingers that can easily produce such a result in a matter of seconds.
Some of these people I love dearly. But honestly, I don't know what comes over normally intelligent people that turns them into insipid, annoying twits that believe I need a spiritual or emotional boost provided by an email that's been forwarded to half the friggin' globe. One click, and it's off, inspiring their entire contact list. Perhaps it's the impersonality of it that provokes me the most. I don't hear from someone for over a year, and then suddenly...Oh, Bridget! Hey, I wonder how...crap, it's one of those! Pffttttt!
Oh, and the ones that inform me I must send this to everyone on my list, including the person who sent it to me. Will you still love me if I don't? Will you at least stop sending this inane garbage if I don't? Either situation, or both, will be just fine with me. If I complied with their wishes, I had have dozens of disturbed friends and relatives descending upon my abode, searching for the alien pod.
I hope whomever started this evil trend someday gets a computer virus so heinous, it makes their PC burst into flames, explode, and embeds one or more drives securely into their walls.

Well said! I have friends and family that do the same thing, it bugs me to no end!
And unfortunately it doesn't stop at email. People post chain letters to their blogs, Facebook walls, Facebook notes, Myspace bulletins, and on other web forums. There are so many things wrong with this trend, it needs to die already.
