There are a couple others that I know of. They are the Bogus MADD Petition and Dead Reckoning Jenny memes.
All of them absolutely awful!
I am not the only one annoyed by this meme and others like it, as this excellent Youtube video shows.
If you want to send a message not to drink and drive, don't use this or any other meme to do it. Here's a confession video by Natt Cordle instead. He's a real person who has to live with the fact his drinking and driving killed someone, for the rest of his life.
🙎♂️Meme: Subject: I want this back... you'll see why funny 30 sec. after you send to 15 people.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bull. And you're not getting it back from me. I'm not sending it to anyone.
🙎♂️Meme: Subject: I want this back , you'll understand why
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: There's no understanding why you'd want this back.
🙎♂️Meme: PLEASE READ TO THE END---You'll understand
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You'll be sorry you made that statement once I'm through tearing this chain to pieces.
🙎♂️Meme: Near to the door
he paused to stand
as he took his class ring
off her hand
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I can guess the rest. She died and everybody's sad.
🙎♂️Meme: all who were watching
did not speak
as a silent tear
ran down his cheek
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Right, gotta absolutely document every tear-drop, you chain letter originators are a sick grim lot...
🙎♂️Meme: and through his mind
the memories ran
of the moments they walked
and ran in the sand (hand and hand)
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Here lies Mary Sue, mourned by Gary Stu. They of the walk on the beach fame...
🙎♂️Meme: but now her eyes were so terrible cold
for he would never again have her to hold
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, boo-boo. Her eyes are going to get cold right along with the rest of her. He would've realized at the first news of her death that he wasn't gonna be snugglehugglekissykissykoo-ing her any more. He didn't just "dong plonk!" suddenly have that realization dawn on him by seeing her cold eyes.
🙎♂️Meme: they watched in silence as he bent near
and whispered the words……
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes* Ah yes, those ever-so-precious totally never over-done three little words uttered in every cheesy soap opera romantic death scene...
🙎♂️Meme: “I LOVE YOU” in her ear
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *Facepalm!* Told ya!
Look, I get it, she died, everybody's like totally crushed about it...)
What I want to know is why he took the ring off her finger? I mean, couldn't he have just left it there, you know, like part of her final burial clothes? I mean, why lift the ring?)
🙎♂️Meme: he touched her face and started to cry
as he put on his ring and wanted to die
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Yeah, Gary, losing a loved one stinks...
🙎♂️Meme: and just then the wind began to blow
as they lowered her casket
into the snow....
this is what happens
to man alive.....
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: What, being buried? Really? How many live people have you put in caskets lately?
🙎♂️Meme: when friends let friends....
drink and drive.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No, this is what happens when friends die. Somebody dying in a crash due to drinking and driving is no deader than someone who dies of natural causes or some other unfortunate circumstance.
🙎♂️Meme: Please send this out to everyone so they understand.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Uh, I think most people get it, anyway, no chain letter with a morbid poem is going to magically stop anyone from drinking and driving. It won't make friends go bionic and physically be able to stop irresponsible people from drinking and driving. It won't make them get super mind powers so they can will their friends not to drink and drive, either.
🙎♂️Meme: It's not a chain letter or a joke.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: 1. So who's laughing, and what's with the subject line indicating it's supposed to be funny? Which, it isn't...
2. You're a liar. It is definitely a chain letter. Anything that tells you to pass it on to everybody/x number of people/as many people as you can/to all your friends etc. is a chain letter.
🙎♂️Meme: Thank you! YOU HAVE A HEART!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You're not welcome, and yes I do have a heart, which is why I'm mangling this thing to bits.
🙎♂️Meme: THE RULES
1. You must FORWARD it within 20 minutes or you will spoil it for everyone.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: See? I told you it's a chain letter. And just what are you going to do to me for not forwarding it to anyone? The only thing that should be spoiled is your manipulative useless viral scheme.
🙎♂️Meme: 2. You must follow these rules and something will pop up on your screen that is so funny 30 sec. after you send to 15 people.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bullcrap. You can't make anything pop up on anybody's screen with this chain letter. And what was all this you said before about this not being a joke? Which is it, then? I'll tell you; you're simply desperate and you think everybody is an idiot who will either be moved by your dreary poem, or taken in by that old hoax claiming something great will pop up on the screen simply by spamming this junk all over the net.
🙎♂️Meme: 3. Don't drink and drive.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Who needs vapid chain letters telling them that?
🙎♂️Meme: MAY GOD BLESS
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Don't bring God into this! How dare you, after trying to pull off a con job? Your poem stinks. Everything else you've said is complete insincere rubbish except the "Don't drink and drive" which no one requires you telling them, and "God bless" which is ludicrous coming from you, a hoax chain originator!
Over - and - out!
