Yes, it's been around since the Myspace days.
Memes try to manipulate a person's emotions to get them feeling a certain way; then they usually have some kind of demand to be reposted/forwarded etc.
What happens when it doesn't work?
You'll find out.
This Myspace bulletin chain letter tries to get the reader to feel sorry for the jilted girl and mad at the jerk who dumped her.
It attempts to make me shed a tear for the supposed victim while raving at the person it vilifies, in the same way the I'm Sorry Mom child abuse version does.
As you will see, neither one of these manipulative pieces of crap "I'm sorry" chain letters work on me as intended.
Look out, anonymous jilted girl, subject of this bulletin: you asked for it!
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
That I'm not enough of a slut to sleep with you on a first date
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: So are you saying you are a slut to some degree, then? Like, what is there that you are enough of a slut to do? Don't answer that, TMI, I don't really want to know. Just saying it would've made just a bit more sense if you'd simply put "I'm not a slut and won't hop in the sack with you at the drop of a hat." Well, you get what I'm trying to convey, right?
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
That my boobs aren't big enough to "satisfy" your needs
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Um, chick, you're confusing 'needs' with lust. the only ones who would actually have "needs" as far as your boobs are concerned, might be your own infant children. Ahem TMI, but really...
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
that I'm not anorexic and skinny enough for you to see my ribs
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: If he's such a shallow twit, why were you interested in him at all?
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
That I'm not pretty enough to be "your girl"
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: What? You think you have to achieve a certain level of what you deem prettiness before you can be some guy's girlfriend? Chick, you've got serious issues. Get help ASAP!
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
That I'm not a Playboy model so I can't act like a porn star for you
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: You "can't" - or "won't" ? There is a difference. I think I get it. You're probably just mad the guy didn't respond to your sleazy Pam Anderson stunt with a marriage proposal, is that it? After all, you said it yourself, you're "not enough of a slut" to sleep with him on the first date and you "can't" not "won't/refuse to" act like a porn star for him. So does that mean you are enough of a slut to try?
Anyone can "act like a porn star" whether they're a playboy model or not. It doesn't take any brain, talent or skill to strip and prance around in the nude like a beast in season.
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
I don't have a dream body that turns you on
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, shut it. If he's got a problem with your bod, he's not worth anything. If you have a problem with your bod, and it's becoming quite obvious that you do, get help, get a life.
😡🗯Meme: But most of all
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Is this where the big OMG most tear-jerking profundity attempt comes in to play?
😡🗯Meme: I'm sorry
That you can't accept me for who I am
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Chick, how to break this to you? Ahem…Okay, it's like this: It's not your body that's the problem. It's your cruddy self-pitying bullyish attitude and odious attempt at playing the victim act. Forget the guy who cut off your ego - uh, arm, for a moment. ANYBODY would have a hard time accepting you for who you are, because you don't seem to yourself, and you are so incredibly fixated on how your body looks and how sexy you think you are not, you are so bound and determined to vilify some guy who bruised your pride somehow. You're passive-aggressive out the wazoo, and if this is any indication of how you treat anyone who ruffles your feathers, intended or not, or maybe you just pull the victim act on any random person for no reason, you are a social vampire, a manipulative, self-pitying brat who needs to grow up.
😡🗯Meme: If you're a girl and you agree with this letter, repost as "I'm sorry"
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Easy-peasy, I think it's crud and it needs to be mangled. And no, I'm not a bit sorry about mangling it!
😡🗯Meme: If You're one of the few guys with enough balls to repost,
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: *withering glare of disgust* Well, look at you, for all your snivelling about the guy and the obsessions you've convinced yourself he has. It's obvious what YOU'RE obsessed with. Can you say "hypocrite" and "double-standard"? In your zeal to paint all guys as shallow-minded hormonal slobs, you completely discredited and outed yourself with that last line in one fell swoop! Wow, way to go!
😡🗯Meme: and you would never make your girl feel this way, repost as "I appreciate you
🧝♀️Ocean Elf: Oh, so if the guys don't repost it, that makes them into selfish jerks who don't appreciate their girlfriends I suppose? Gah, you toxic little tramp!
-*Rolling eyes* What an extremely sarcastic, babyish, self-pitying whine. Oh, my heart just bleeds for this girl...NOT!
She comes off as nothing but a petty little brat who needs a few lessons in how to interact with other people before she can be considered safe for anyone to enter into any kind of relationship with, be that a boyfriend or just a friend.
Obviously she's the one obsessed with appearance and is terribly insecure, especially since she, like many of these frighteningly insecure sad rejected girls in these bulletins, is determined to judge all other guys as shallow-minded jerks just because one guy didn't return her advances - for whatever reason.
She might've even made up the idea that she's rejected because of her looks and simply can't stand the fact that maybe there is no reason they didn't work out other than they just weren't meant to. Or maybe she was far too narcissistic and clingy, and the guy couldn't take it any more. I've seen narcissistic drama-queens in action, they can get extremely ugly trying to play the victim act and villify anyone else who doesn't coddle them and give them exactly what they want, all the time. And they absolutely refuse to take responsibility for their own disgusting behavior that repells people in the first place.
Assuming the guy really was a jerk, if this girl had any backbone, she wouldn't waste her time pining over someone like that in the first place.
The whole thing could've been summed up as "I'm sorry you're such a jerk and I wasted too much time on you."
Here's a different treatment of the "I'm Sorry" showing how to give a jerk a rough sendoff. If you want to wound his pride, don't moan on about how he was such a meannie to you and how hurt you are. If he really is a jerk, he's not going to care, or worse; he'll be thrilled that he was able to make you writhe on a string for him. However, it might rattle him to know he's no prized catch himself.
I'm sorry
That your two heads got confused.
I'm sorry
that I'm too intelligent, self-assured and busy with my own life to give a crap about "satisfying" your dim-headed bust-lusts
I'm sorry
that you're not a galaxy away and I might risk the chance of seeing your ugly mug at my door again.
I'm sorry
That I'm far too smart to be "your girl"
I'm sorry
That I wasn't the one who broke your butt-ugly model car, but I'm not sorry I can't fix it for you.
I'm sorry
I don't have a dream that includes you, since all you care about is getting turned on.
But most of all
I'm sorry
That you're not a man, just an overgrown little boy and a huge waste of time. Oh well, you'll get over it eventually.
Over and out!
