What kind of things do you forward to your friends by e-mail?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 12, 2008
“I don’t live here anymore, but I grew up here. So anytime I get ahold of any KU stuff, I try to propagate the KU love.”
“Mostly just entertaining and mindless YouTube links.”
“Actually, I don’t forward much. I usually just call them and tell them to check it out if they’re near a computer so we can talk about it then and there.”
“Just news articles I find interesting, random facts and jokes.”

Only the spam I have vetted and personally deemed worthy.

Only the things that tell me I must or I'm cursed...or I'll miss something really great happening in 4 days...or that someone will die unless I forward to 10 of my friends. All that stuff is legit.

I actually very rarely forward things. (Of course, it helps that I almost never get forwarded things in the first place.) I'll send an amusing link or the like, but I typically don't get those links in forwards.Speaking of an amusing link, here's one now!http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/

There's flesh-eating bacteria on bananas! Dude, I saw it on the interwebs. It's gotta be true.

No sound card?! It's 2008, multiD! Ditch that Commodore 64 and get something with Windows on it, that comes with speakers!

dirty jokes, spoof motivational posters, redneck pics, youtube links, Maxine, and anything else that makes me snort coffee out of my nose while laughing hystericallyI never forward the "because you're my friend" crap or anything with any kind of threat attached like fleas infesting my armpits unless I forward the bunny of love (or Whatever!)

Unless it says something about Chuck Norris in the subject line, then I just hit the forward to all button without even reading it...

Jonas~ That was a very mooooooving vid, all the bovine gender confusion notwithstanding. I only forward materials depicting amusing and painful humiliation of fellow human beings--or simply amusing incidents of actual pain. (I.e., not all depictions of pain are amusing--think Funniest Home Video-type material, usually involving a 4-year-old jumping on Daddy's crotch while the old man is sleeping on the couch..)It's a dirty job but someone must counter the gigatons of treacly sentimental "heartwarming" forwards featuring precious baby toes, sleeping kittens, and puppies peering wistfully from hatboxes. I do it so you won't have to.

I hate forwards. Forwards are evil.

It has to have made me laugh or really tugged at the heart strings before I'll forward. I hate getting junk, but like stuff that brightens my day is cool. The political stuff goes straight in the trash bin--I get more than enough of that just from the news.
