Facebook Fuckwittery

Just got forwarded this on Facebook:

“Write If somebody called CHERYL JOHNSON SHE IS FROM AUSTRALIA adds you to their facebok account/invites you to be their friend DON’T accept it because it’s a hacker. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on yours adds them, you get them on your list and he’l figure out your ID computer addesss. So copy and paste this message to everyone even if you don’t like them and fast..because if he hacks their mail, he hacks yours”

Translation:

If a black Volkswagen drives past you, panic, because it is a car thief. Tell everyone you know, because if their car gets stolen, so does yours. If they see you then they’ll add your cars VIN number and your car will explode. So send this message to everyone you know so they will know how stupid you are for believing me.

You have to trust me because:

  • I know that black Volkswagen is from Germany (although I cannot prove that).
  • I can’t differentiate between the spelling of one word & another. E.g. “Right” & “Write”.
  • I carnt not, do Basick. gram-mer nd stuff lol
  • I know what an “ID computer address” is and it is dangerous! You will die!

Quite why people write these messages is a little beyond me, but what I really don’t understand is why fuckwits forward them. Do they really believe them? Do they really believe that even if a hacker were to hack their email that s/he would actually give a fuck about the crap stored in their email box? (Unless of course it is military or commercial secrets. Or about UFOs).

Fuckwits the lot of ‘em!
