I wanted to conclude my trilogy before posting anything else, but unfortunately time and everything around is too discouraging to even attempt it. Everyone and everything around me seems to be targeting me for their torture games. Thus my mind is all screwed up, and pretty bad too. Every day is a nightmare for me now, and so is every night. No sleep, no smile, no peace of mind. The sunlight shines through the clouds for a minute and then it’s gloomy again. Talking nonsense here too, I think. Large part of all that’s happening is o’course due to my own insanity. Anyways, today I thought I’ll just put all the irritations in my mind, right here. So here it is. Am just venting. So don’t mind. No offense whatsoever.
Am sure many would have come across a mail, with the content given below, several times..
Oprah’s interview and Tommy Hilfiger Good for Oprah!!!!
I’m sure many of you watched the recent taping of The Oprah Winfrey show where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.Statements like”… if I’d known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews and Asians would buy my clothes, I would not have made them so nice. I wish these people would NOT buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class white people.”
His answer to Oprah was a simple, “YES”. Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.
My suggestion? Don’t buy your next shirt or Perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. Let’s give him what he asked for. Let’s not buy his clothes.
Let’s put him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes.
BOYCOTT PLEASE, & SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW !!!!!
I got if first some 4 years ago.. and before that I heard about it from somebody else too.. and I believed it. But as it turns out, it’s always been just a hoax.
Many of us just read these mails and believe it and just blindly forward it. Well, most of them don’t harm anybody, but some could harm somebody pretty bad too.. I believe it’s unfair on our part to be a part of such “chain mailers”.. I think we all should take a minute “googling” the genuineness of such mails before we forward to the entire addressbook.
My request: please, please, PLEASE… avoid forwarding those horribly stupid and dumb mails which claim to earn you “millions from Microsoft and AOL” and the likes, by just forwarding them. Even the ones that show heart melting images of little girls, claiming that the girl has some terrible virus that’s killing her and needs treatment badly and for the fund, Yahoo or whoever has agreed to pay for each mail forwarded etc etc… I mean, how can we be so ignorant of the truth that no company is stupid enough to pay thousands and millions, to the millions who believe it and forward the mails????? I mean, hello! these companies are into making softwares. Not printing dollars.
The worst of them all is the ones that carry “God’s messages”! Man, I hate that so much. People actually believe that the message originated from some famous temple and unless they forward it to 10 others, they will have ill-luck. Since when did “God” start spamming???? What kind of a loser actually started that sick mail?
When I put this for discussion in a group from which I received the mail last, someone told me that the same girl, the one who was to receive the cash generated by the rest of the world forwarding the mail, is still fighting against bone cancer. She’s been sick from from 2003 and now she is 6 years old He also said when received the mail a month ago, the words were same as of the first one he had received.
Which girl? And why? Because nobody forwarded the mail? Because Yahoo or Microsoft or whoever agreed to pay, didn’t pay? Well, maybe they should have gone for an easier and better option… like just forwarding the Microsoft and AOL mail which claimed to have “turned thousands of people into millionaires just overnight” (as per the mail), instead of just waiting. How long was that mail to be in circulation before the company pays up anyway?
If that “girl having cancer” is really a true story, then I really admire the will power and strength she and her relatives have shown, which kept her alive for so long. But I also feel disgusted by the person who used her terrible condition as a “tool” to start a chain mail which was meant to just fool the people and NEVER to help the victim. Am NOT saying there is no girl like that. What am saying is, there is no “offer” from any corporates like the one that’s told in these mails. It’s just some sick mind’s cruel joke. Just another chain mail.
But what exactly is the “intention” of the chain mails? The person sends a mail, and he/she gets it back after many years. Is that the only “high” the creator of the mails get? I really can’t see anything else. And like that same person in the group pointed out, nobody ever came with a mail after receiving the “charity fund”! Considering the “forward and help me save my daughter” mail is true, don’t you think it’s selfish on the part of the “charity fund receivers” to not send a “thank you all for saving my daughter’s life” mail at least, to all those people who forwarded their previous mail and helped them get the “charity fund”? Have u ever seen a mail like that? There have been countless mails asking for the fund, and not a single one succeeded?? What are the odds?????
There have been chain mails of different types. The “easy money maker” mails were an instant hit, thanks to the human nature. They even tried “Nokia is giving away free mobiles to make their brand popular” stuff, when mobiles were catching up in the market. Then they tried with “virus alerts” when a few deadly ones were actually making the news and people were scared of getting their computers infected. The “save my daughter” kind of mails started playing with the human emotions. And then “Gods” started traveling the web just like they used to travel in a postman’s bag, before the Internet happened. Remember those days when people used to get postcards with some “mantra” or spell written on it and asking the receiver to write 15 copies of it, write not photocopy, and send it to different people within the next 10 days? I had received one too, and for all I cared, that could have been a marketing gimmick of out postal department 
But hey, at least the postcard made many people write the “mantra” some 15 times. They wouldn’t have forgotten it after that, right? But how is hitting the forward button going to help at all?????? And why do people actually believe that just forwarding a mail can bring them luck? In my opinion health and wealth never comes to people who just sit back and HIT “Forward” in their mailbox. It goes to people who actually get up from their couch and take themselves forward.
The only outcome of these stupid chain mails will be that some day, when someone actually wants to pass on a genuine issue, like maybe the “missing child” mail or the “AB -ve blood for a patient in Appolo Hospital” one that’s been going around of late, the public will just ignore it thinking it’s another of the time wasters.
Remember the old story of the boy who screamed “Tiger, tiger”???????
Who’s to be blamed?
PS: I know people may have different opinions… This is just mine.
