Figured some people might find the ridiculousness of the email entertaining.
Despite hating these emails, I do find them entertaining... in a 'that's so stupid it's fun' kind of way. Kinda like how I look at you.
I wish the bud guy would have kicked their a$$es, no cop in the world would have done anything ot them! Probably a fictional story, but a great one! thnkas fo rthe post!
It's a fake (you can tell by the cross section).
I HATE getting emails like that.
Budweiser Pulled all Its Product from the Shelves of a Convenience Store Where There was Celebration of the Terrorist Attacks-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
A Budweiser driver delivering beer to a convenience store in McFarland, California, walked in to find Arabs in the store celebrating the terrorist attacks on America. The driver called his boss and was told to remove all the Budweiser products from the store and to tell them they'd never be delivered Bud products again. Another version says Pepsi joined to boycott the store as well.
The Truth:
There have been numerous attempts to validate this story, but with no success. A spokesperson for Budweiser says the company has investigated it and not found any evidence that it is true.
TruthOrFiction.com has received isolated reports of similar incidents from other parts of the country, but they seem to be localized versions of the same eRumor.
this whole thing is so stupid that it simply must be american. people asking themselves "is this story really true?" must be americans. jesus christ...
It's as transparently bogus as the original story.
and mr. ClintonHolmes found out! the man who can see through sarcasm as if it was glass! amazing! shocking! dazzling! a whole new story of surprise and suspense!
An interesting comment on the pervasions of pop-culture.... THe first Holmes I thought of was Mike..... but that didn't make any sense.... The 2nd was John..... and that didn't either....
Ahh.... 'Sherlock'..... Man... you're so witty JrZ.....

as if sherlock holmes was not part of popular culture.
Certainly the Basil Rathbone films of the 40s; meanwhile film and radio versions of the Holmes stories have continued to be produced steadily to the present day.
What pisses me off is the annoying formatting... and the "if you don't forward this you hate america" type of bullcrap....
"Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous. And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you. Or maybe you shouldn't bring me every little piece of trash you happen to pick up"
Whoops wrong thread. I'd say bring it back on topic, but I don't know if there is one.
