Well, I have been saving this entry for a rainy day. A while back, I¹ received a chain letter/pyramid scheme in the mail. It happened not more than two days after anti-[everything] received his "Holy Prayer Rug" from his local (or rather not so local) crazies.

Now, I remember back in school when people would pass chain letters in class so you got a wish or something equally assinine. To be completely honest, I never expected to receive one in the mail. What is more disturbing is that these people got my address.

Anyway, I open up the envelope and see this lovely thing at the top.

Now, isn't that just spiffy? They want to quote the bible at me in an effort to propagate their chain letter money pyramid scam. Now, I admit, this isn't as bad as the Prayer Rug incident as described by anti-[everything]. At least, that's what I thought at first.

I read through the lovely chain letter and see "God Love a cheerful giver!" Uhg... they are trying to use God against me. People must fall for this shit. I mean the two little boxes had names in them and they managed to pilfer my address and send this flaming turd to me. Anyway, I continue reading. I admit I skipped much of the text and just read what was in the boxes first. I want to know how these bastards got my name and address.

I find that I can "Find Opportunity Seekers" from this company in Salt Lake City. I send them money and they send me addresses of other poor schleps to send forward this chain letter with. So, this is a double whammy. Not only do they want me to send $10 to the person in the little box, they also want me to send money to this “Opportunity” company to buy personal information from people.

Anyway, this letter was sent by “Future Success Today”. So I went digging around on the internet searching for them. I had suspicions that they were part of the same company as the “Opportunity Seekers” vampires. No luck. I suspect it is some guy in a garage who just wanted to scam a bunch of people.

While this doesn’t smack of the holy bullshit as the prayer rug, it does try to use god to extract money from people. It’s not quite as deviant as promising answered prayers, but it does promise money. It amazes me that people are truly this stupid.

Well, that’s a lie. I am never surprised by stupid people anymore. They are everywhere. They want the easy, instant gratification of success. I say to them: go masturbate. Sure it’s not money, but it is gratifying and you don’t hurt anyone with it so long as you keep your cum out of my hair.

Anyway, here is the whole letter. I edited the names because it amused me to do so. Click the image for a larger picture.
