Hoax site: Afterlife telegrams

[coriolis]

Here's a site that offers a way to send messages to someone on the other side.

"With the help of our terminally ill volunteers, our service is sending messages to people who have passed away. For a donation of $5.00 per word (5 word minimum), we can have telegrams delivered to people who have passed away. This is done with the help of terminally Ill volunteers who memorize the telegrams before passing away, and then deliver the telegrams after they have passed away. We call this an "afterlife telegram". The $5.00 per word fee, depending on the wishes of the messenger, it is either given to a relative, donated to a charity or used to pay for medical bills. The company does not keep any of the fees from the sale of the telegrams."

OK, either nobody thought it was funny, or everybody thought it was serious, but stupid. That's the beauty of hoax sites. The have just enough of a grain of truth to seem plausible, but then when you read the fine print, you realize that they're not serious. I thought it was funny. I found a bunch of them and will post them here in OT for amusement.

LOL, Ya know I thought for a minute or two about a reply and couldn't seem to think of what to say without it coming across as mean, and didn't want to offend anyone.
