If you want to join the crusade, copy the text below and paste it into an email. (If I were more technologically minded, I'd know how to make a little link for you guys to click on which would create the email for you. But I'm not. If anyone DOES know how to do this, please email meand tell me how. But till then, you're stuck with the copy and paste option). If this forward helps prevent thousands- nay, billions- of forwards from ever being sent, then our sacrifice will not have been in vain!

YOU are guilty.

Yes, you. Guilty of the most heinous crime there is. A crime worse than jaywalking. A crime worse than spandex. A crime even worse than skiing with green water buffaloes in Germany.

YOU have sent on email forwards.

Don't try to deny it. Everyone has passed on a forward at some point. Maybe you were swayed by the heart rending tale of the armless, legless, homeless, goatless boy in Babalabalooshgabanaban. Perhaps you felt guilty about not sending on that 'What a great friend you are! I love you so much! If you send this back you are a true friend! If not, you are a freeloading bastard and I will never speak to you again!' forward. Maybe you fell for the old '(such and such a company) CAN trace how many times this is forwarded and WILL pay you for sending it on!' Perhaps you even believe anything that says 'This is not a hoax! You will become rich and famous and people will actually want to sleep with you- ALL BECAUSE YOU PASSED THIS ON!'

Well, it's time for the madness to stop! Let us say NO MORE to this infestation of forwarded messages! Let us all rally to the cause of Fighting For a Forward Free Future! (F.F.F.F.F.).

"How can I do that?" I hear you ask.

1) BY FORWARDING THIS MESSAGE, and thus educating others about the menace of internet forwards!
(Yes, I am aware that this is fighting the menace of forwards WITH a forward. This is what's called IRONY, children).

2) STOP SENDING FORWARDED MESSAGES ON
This is the hardest step in breaking the cycle. You may find your fingers itching to hit the 'send' button. You may bite your nails to the quick when a message tells you the various injuries you will sustain if you don't pass this message on. You may pass out with guilt when a friend sends you a message called 'The Friendship Rose'. FIGHT THE TEMPTATION! Keep yourself busy with something else. I recommend taking up smoking, irish dancing, or military service.

3) FEEL PROUD! You have broken the cycle of destruction! You are Fighting For a Forward Free Future!
