This great rant was written back when memes flooded email inboxes, but it applies just as much to meme spam on social networks today. The rant is by Caroline and it was posted on breakthechain.org, a site that no longer exists.

What They're Really Saying

🗣Subject: What They're Really Saying
----------------------------------
🗯Dear Friend,
I'm forwarding this chain because I care about you.
I don't care enough to take 10 seconds to delete out 10 pages of forwarding crap.
I don't care enough to find the time to write anything of my own.
I'm such an ignoramus that I really think I'll get a cool pop up if I forward to just the right amount of people.
I'm so horrendously insecure that I believe you'll think I have no heart if I don't forward that sappy sick kid message.
I'm such a gullible jerk that I think some huge corporation is going to send me money if I follow the instructions in an anonymous email.
I'm so superstitious that I really believe not forwarding an email can bring me bad luck.
I'm so technically incompetent that I really think I can spot a virus with my own eyes better than a program designed specifically to do just that.
But I'm your friend...
Doesn't that make you feel good?
