Anil Dash takes the piss out of mindless forwarding. An excerpt (but read it all):
That forward? I got it. I’ve gotten it. I do not wish to keep receiving it. I was neither moved nor inspired. It was neither clever nor funny. I was not amazed at the stupidity of that criminal, nor disgusted, appalled, and chagrined by the United States Government. I do not marvel at how inexpensive things used to be, nor am I astonished that kids today don’t know about things that happened before they were born.
