I've Got Good News and Bad News

Folks - I've got some good news and some bad news. First the bad news. I received a heart wrenching email this morning regarding a poor, terminally ill young girl who had her kidney's harvested and resold on the black market after inadvertanly being given a date rape pill while talking on her cell phone to a phone scam artist that was stealing her identity.

Now, the good news. If we can all forward her story to 10 people (more if possible), AOL and Bill Gates will chip in over a million dollars to the American Cancer Society in her honor AND give you a laptop for your child. Likewise, if we don't buy gas at Citgo this Tuesday, we can single handedly bring down the price of oil and we can all contribute to charity using the money we save.

Hmm....here's the deal. Those emails you receive with the latest scare story, government conspiracy, forward to 10 people or your luck will be forever altered thingy - they're all fake and have no merit whatsoever. If you're in doubt or want to know what the real deal is, check for yourself:
