I keep getting tons of e-mails every now and then, and they all warnings, boycotting products and information about conspiracies that might harm our innocent lives etc.
An E-mail warning you from going to the cinema theatres anymore as there is an ‘’absolute hardcore facts’’ that some sick minded stick needles and syringes, that have been smudged with HIV+ blood samples, into cinema seats. By searching the news and the internet around the globe trying hard to prove those allegations, I have found nothing.
Laughing my back side out after receiving an e-mail from MSN Hotmail regarding my account, as the content of this one was:
‘’ Dear Hotmail User,Because of the sudden rush of people signing up to Hotmail, it has come to our attention that we are vastly running out of resources.

The funny part is that millions of millions of users rushed immediately to forward this hoax to each other to every name in the contact list without even investigating or researching the whole thing. Which even without researching, their logic mind should tell them that MSN wouldn’t send such a thing as every e-mail provider competing in the market that they are the best and has the biggest storage space for your e-mail and bulk ones.
Another one was spreading all over the Sates and now our friends in Perfect_day@yahoogroups.com helped with the Arabic Egyptian version regarding Missing Children. You’ll get an e-mail contain innocent child pictures and asking you to spread the word to help find them. The whole thing started at first with stupid joke amongst friends and on MySpace® and Facebook®. If you ask what could be the reason behind this, it is very simple just for the laugh and it might sometimes create a news and chaos and fear among the society.
Today i have received and e-mail from perfect_day@yahoogroups.com regarding Tommy Hilfiger™ racist remarks against his costumers. First I have heard those rumours years ago but with slightly different version. As it was rumour in the US and Europe, the targeted audience was the African American, Asian, Hispanics, and Jews. Now after all those years the Arabs wants to have a share in this stupid hoax games they have added ‘Arabic Customers’ on the version. First of all i bet that nobody ever search those rumours or try to find out why a business man and successful designer would do such an idiotic act, as above all the logic and hoax, who is in the right mind in the Western world would attack the Jews and refuse to sell his products to them and so for the Black, and Hispanic even though deep inside him those are his beliefs. I have search this matter and I found that Tommy Hilfiger never ever been on Oprah show until this incident and was there just to put the record straight towards those stupid nonsense rumours. Before anybody of the Arab world start accusing me that i am defending the designer, I would like to say from my fashion perspective, i don’t really like his lines and i don’t really buy from his shops as I feel he is outdated and his cloth lines just not stylish enough. I have followed this article with Oprah Winfery clip from her show that it has been aired on May 2007 which way before those silly e-mail start spreading in the Arab world and asking people to boycott his products without even investigate the truth.
The bottom line of the article is not defending a specific character or a product as much as to be aware of what are receiving form tons of hoax and wrong information. Rumours could cause anger and fear, hatred and war, chaos and devastation. I hope that everyone would research more and read more about any subject he/she talking about before spreading it blind folded.
