C'mon people...I mean really

So, I received two emails, from the same person, both within minutes of each other.

Email # 1 subject line was "I've been asked to pass this on....blah blah blah" and is about some special M&M promotion where if you buy the M&M's they make a donation ...etc etc etc. wanting you to forward it to all your family and friends. Save the world, etc etc.

Email #2 is this one http://www.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~sivann/pub/swf/may02-smilepop-soapbox4.swf

which is a cartoon character that comes on and totally mocks people who send stoopid emails about donations/forwards/people dying of various diseases, etc.

So basically she DID the annoying thing and then sent a cartoon about how annoying what she just did was, and there's no hint of self-depreciation in the email so you kow she wasn't being ironic. The kicker? If you actually go to the M&M website ...(which took me roughly 1 second to google) you can read how they stopped making the F#*$@(#* pink M&Ms in Oct 2005. So WHY IS ANYBODY STILL SENDING THESE ON! They stopped making them so STOP THE EMAILS.

Makes me wonder, if somebody else on her email list finally had enough, sent the 2nd link as a subtle message to her. Maybe that's where the irony comes into play...
