This is one of the more scary aspects of the power of the Internet. It's like shouting "Fire" from the balcony of a theater just to see what happens. I have a few relatives who constantly send me crappy hoax shit like this or how Obama is going to give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens or how Congress voted themselves a pay raise while cutting the amount in senior's SS checks. I used to try to respond with a link to the Snopes or other hoax website but now I just delete it and move on.
