E-Mail Forwards

I'll level with you: one of the best things of not being a pastor anymore is not getting barraged with insipid and conspiracy-theory touting e-mail forwards every day -- and then getting asked to validate the honey-drenched sentiment and/or crackpot rumor therein.

Here's a satirical take on the phenomenon: a news faux program composed entirely of e-mail forwards.

I'm afraid I'm reminded of having visited someone recently who told me how his daily devotions book had said that China was going to take over the world as The Great Deceiver. He showed me the daily reading and....let's just say all of the above was wrong. I thought he was reading some crackpot fundamentalist devotions book and he'd just misunderstood everything. Including substituting 'China' for 'South Korea'.

And your great-aunt's hairdresser, and the nice man that the hairdresser met at bingo, and the girlfriend of the nice man's older brother...

I shared this with someone who just reached his 50th birthday. (Of course, I'm 47 myself, so I might as well get ready.)
