🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Sometimes it comes with Lotus Touts or Lotus Totus, sometimes not. Either way, it's a pile of dreck and certainly not from the Anthony Robbins organization or any other. This meme continues to make fools of some and annoy the heck out of others years after it was originated, as this discussion shows.
It's a good luck/love hoax that also contains a list of how to live life, but it is not from the Dalai Lama or Anthony Robbins.
The list was lifted from a book called Life's Little Instruction Book by Jackson Brown and H. Jackson Brown JR and still circulates on blogs and email forwards, sometimes all in one, sometimes in parts one and part twostyle.
Some bottom-feeding twit or twits decided to rip off some of the text, strip these authors of credit, claim it was a Japanese or Nepolese tantra written by the Dalai Lama and Anthony Robbins and some other famous people. then the hoaxter(s) attached the stupid meme "Pass it on and you'll have a great life, don't forward it and your life will stink." balderdash.
🤦🏽♀️BP: Wha-?!
Stealing credit from people really ticks me off. This chain shall receive no mercy!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: For this reason, MTM won't include and tear apart the list itself, though some of the items have caused some rather uncontrollable eye-rolling.
However, we can, and will, thrash the hoax..
Before we do, however, we proudly present to you this site containing a good dressing-down of the Lotus Totus! Even though we'll take it a step further and not replicate any of it.
🤥Meme: Subject: You have 6 minutes (or Lotus Totus/Touts : You Have 6 Minutes(
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Translation: I want to control your online life, so I'm demanding you to pass this piece of crap on within six minutes.
Not a chance, whoever you really are.
🤦🏽♀️BP: And you have five seconds till I shred this thing to smithereens!
🤥Meme: This Lotus Totus Touts is without a doubt one of the nicest good luck forwards I have received. Hope it works for you -- and me! You have 6 minutes
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Newsflash, it's not nice, it's bunk.
🤦🏽♀️BP: Heh! Right, some blob of digital garbage is going to magically rearrange events so they fall in my favor. How many sap-heads did you win over with that empty promise?
🤥Meme: This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium, all it takes is a few seconds to read and think.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: But the catch is, you're only supposed to think "Oooooohhhhhh aaaaaawe! The DaLAI LAMA! So cool, so true, oh my, I must share this!"
I have news for you. The Dalai Lama didn't start this hoax or write the list that was lifted from a book he also didn't write.
🤥Meme: There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not superstitious. This Lotus Totus Touts tantra totem has been sent To you for good luck from the Anthony Robbins organization.. It has been sent around the world ten times so Far.
🤦🏽♀️BP: Um, yeah...No. No to all of it.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Nonsense. First of all, no organization conducts any kind of business or PR work via chain letter. The reason chain letters toss around famous names in this way is to try fooling people into thinking they are something special and credible. It's all a lie. Second, the chain letter started out claiming it's been around the world ten times to try fooling people into thinking there's some sort of tracker out there that tracks every forwarded email. There's no such thing. Third, if it actually was true that it's been around the world ten times, then it's high time it's retired.
🤥Meme: You will receive good luck within four days of relaying this tantra totem.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bull! It's a chain letter totem titus mantra tantra, hoax, not magic or anything technologically advanced. It can't send anybody anything except perhaps send someone like me up the wall with annoyance.
🤥Meme: Send copies to people you think need good luck.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wish people good luck by sending them spam? Nothing doing.
🤥Meme: Don't send money as fate has no price.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I don't just go sending money around to people, thank you! As for your fate stuff, humbug!
🤥Meme: Do not keep this message.
🤦🏽♀️BP: Right, since I want to just gaze at this thing for hours on end. I'll mangle it, and you'll just have to deal with that.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Do not pass it along either. This message is being kept on an archive to show just exactly what's wrong with it.
🤥Meme: This The Lotus Totus Touts mantra tantra totem must leave your hands in 6 MINUTES. within 96 hours.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: So which is it, 6 mins or 96 hours? Neither, I'm not sending it anywhere.
🤥Meme: Send ten copies and see what happens in four days. You will get a very pleasant surprise.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No sending. The only surprise I might if I did something so foolish is taking a bad hit to my reputation for being a gullible jerk.
🤥Meme: Otherwi se you will get a very unpleasant surprise.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong. The unpleasant surprise is the fact this chain is still circulating at all.
🤥Meme: This is true,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: No, it's a bald-faced lie.
🤥Meme: even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
🤦🏽♀️BP: What's that supposed to mean, "faith impaired"? As in, faith in your stupid chain? Anyone who believes passing this on will bring them luck is sorely mistaken, as are you, by sending this out and by snatching the credit from who it rightly belongs!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Like in the Special Occasion Tantra...Whatever happened to being "nice"? The only bad thing to happen is extreme annoyance and even embarrassment over the sender's flakiness if you're on the receiving end of this thing, or if you were the one who sent it, you may have just annoyed and embarrassed your friends. AS for truth, there's none worth mentioning in a meme of this sort especially. I already explained this hoax doesn't come from Anthony Robbins and why. I'm not repeating that again.
🤥Meme: Now, here's the FUN part!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: -Dude, reality check: You're in serious need of a life if this is your idea of "fun".
🤦🏽♀️BP: Fun is an opinion. Wanna know MY opinion of fun? *evil grin* You won't like it...
🤥Meme: Send FORWARD this MANTRA E-MAIL to at least 5 people and your life will improve.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong! Send this to at least five people and show them you're an idiot, but it won't improve your life or theirs...
🤦🏽♀️BP: Or send it to no one. I vote for that option.
🤥Meme: YOU CANNOT SEND IT BACK TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: I see, you don't want your own spam back. Okay, that's cool, I don't intend to send it anywhere except to a site that exposes the idiotics of passing on chain letters.
🤦🏽♀️BP: Don't like a taste of your own medicine, eh? Well, tough beans, I'm not sending it to ANYONE! Capiche?
🤥Meme: 1-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong again!
🤦🏽♀️BP: Or you'll just tick off 1-4 people.
🤥Meme: 5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Wrong!
🤦🏽♀️BP: Or 9 people will tell you to back off.
🤥Meme: 9-14 people: You will have at least 5 surprises in the next 3 weeks
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Bullcrap!
🤦🏽♀️BP: Over a dozen people will come after you and tell you to stop sending them this garbage...
🤥Meme: 15 and above: Your life will improve drastically and everything you ever dreamed of will begin to take shape.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Utter garbage! The most that could happen is you'd show 15 or more people you're an idiot who might as well be yelling from the rooftops that you believe the earth is flat!
🤦🏽♀️BP: LOTS of people will come after and forcibly stop the sending...
🤥Meme: Good luck to everyone!
🤦🏽♀️BP: Nope. No good luck for you..
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Passing on this chain is likely to bring bad luck to at least someone, in the form of annoyance and hurt feelings on either or both sides.
🤥Meme: The words that we regret the most are the words we never take the time to say...
🤦🏽♀️BP: Not true. What if you don't take the time to be a complete jerk to someone? Aren't those the kind of words you're glad you don't say? Don't over generalize everything, stupid chain sender.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Who needs words when you got chain letters!? And yes, that is a regrettable situation, all over the net.
🤥Meme: A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Right, like in The Green Dog chain I suppose…
A true friend is someone who posts words from their own heart and not spammy memes!
🤦🏽♀️BP: by not sending this kind of stuff! If you think this is "heartwarming", you need a serious wake-up call.
🤥Meme: Do not keep this message
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, like in Special Occasion Tantra bogus ST. Jude, Dead Reckoning Jenny It's already archived.
And in the case of this site, mangled!
🤦🏽♀️BP: Since I wanted to, oh SO much... Your precious meme has been mangled. Twice.
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Over and out.
