I finally got the "Black Patch" email that has been circulating for nearly five years now. It had been forwarded to me by my very patriotic father-in-law, then re-forwarded by my wife's uncle, then by two of my my brother in-laws.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about it contains this image:
and with it is this text:
This SHOULD be on the front cover of Time, Newsweek, etc. But it won't. Let's you and I "put it there" by forwarding this all around the world.
Since I think it's totally moronic to forward something as truth when it's obviously fake, and that I find it offensive that something that was created to poke fun (no matter how strongly the creator believed it was true) can be sent to me by a relative who strongly believes that this image SHOULD be on the cover of Newsweek, I replied:
FFFFAAAAKKKKEEEE!!!!
to which the reply was:
It may be fake, but it's true.
War is hell.Xxxx Xxxxx
American PatriotI'm speechless. I want to reply but it'll just cause a fight. And there's no reasoning with this sort of group mentality.
*sigh*
