Non per essere "critico" ma a me questa catena sembra una specie di
vendetta contro la ACS per bloccare il suo server inondandolo di mail.
Non vi pare?

Non dubito nemmeno per un minuto della tua buona fede, perche'
se lo facessi, verrei li' e ti darei qualche buon motivo per
correre a comperarti un paio di mutandoni di latta.
Prima di spargere fesserie online, e' sempre bene fare qualche
ricerca, tipo dare un'occhiata a dove hai nascosto il cervello
(non ci voleva molto a capire che la c&%ç*ata della piccola
Jessica era un "hoax"). Ulteriori ricerche, svolte con metodi
sofisticatissimi, tipo andare su 
http://www.cancer.org
 oppure
tipare "cancer" in una qualsiasi search engine, avrebbero dato
questo risultato:

The American Cancer Society is greatly disturbed by reports of a fraudulent
chain letter circulating on the
internet which lists the American Cancer Society as a "corporate sponsor"
but which has in no way been
endorsed by the American Cancer Society. There are several variations of
this letter in circulation, including
one which has a picture of "Tickle Me Elmo" and one that is essentially a
paraphrase of the letter below. 
The text of the original message reads as follows:
LITTLE JESSICA MYDEK IS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND IS SUFFERING FROM AN ACUTE AND
VERY RARE CASE OF CEREBRAL
CARCINOMA. THIS CONDITION CAUSES SEVERE MALIGNANT BRAIN TUMORS AND IS A
TERMINAL ILLNESS. THE DOCTORS
HAVE GIVEN HER SIX MONTHS TO LIVE. 
AS PART OF HER DYING WISH, SHE WANTED TO START A CHAIN LETTER TO INFORM
PEOPLE OF THIS CONDITION AND TO
SEND PEOPLE THE MESSAGE TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT,
A CHANCE THAT SHE WILL
NEVER HAVE. FURTHERMORE, THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND SEVERAL CORPORATE
SPONSORS HAVE
AGREED TO DONATE THREE CENTS TOWARD CONTINUING CANCER RESEARCH FOR EVERY
NEW PERSON THAT GETS
FORWARDED THIS MESSAGE. PLEASE GIVE JESSICA AND ALL CANCER VICTIMS A CHANCE.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, SEND THEM TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AT
A...@AOL.COM
 
As far as the American Cancer Society can determine, the story of Jessica
Mydek is completely unsubstantiated. 
No fundraising efforts are being made by the American Cancer Society using
chain letters of any kind. 
Furthermore, the email address 
A...@AOL.COM
 is inactive. Any messages to the
American Cancer Society 
should be instead sent through the American Cancer Society website at
http://www.cancer.org
. 
This particular chain letter with its heartbreaking story appears to have
struck an emotional chord 
with online users. Although we are very concerned that the American Cancer
Society's name has been 
used to manipulate the online public, we applaud the good intentions of all
who participated in this 
letter. We are pleased to note that there are so many caring individuals
out there and hope
that they will find another way to support cancer research. Jessica Mydek's
story, whether true or 
false, is representative of that of many cancer patients who benefit daily
from the efforts of 
legitimate cancer organizations nationwide.

In poche parole: tutti i gonzi che cascano in questi tranelli,
perche' diavolo non danno i soldi alle poche associazioni che davvero
fanno qualcosa?
Scusate la lungaggine, ma spero di avere fermato sul nascere questo
thread che e' un doppio insulto: all'intelligenza, e a chi di cancro
muore davvero.

 muore davvero.
Hai fatto benissimo. Che schifo di gente: usare una malattia per queti
scopi meschini...
