It appears that the crack news team over at CNN.com did some investigating and found out that people forward email with funny pictures in them. This truly earth-shattering revelation was linked on the front page of the number one name in news. Check out the stunning details:

Dude, you have got to see this. Look in your in-box. Right there between the chain letter promising never-ending good fortune and the Top 10 list of reasons why cats are better than dogs. There it is: An e-mail filled with goofy images of sometimes dubious origins.

If you’re like most people, you receive several of these offbeat e-mails each week.

The subject line says something like, “FWD: Re: RE: You think you’re having a bad day?” The images of crushed trucks, endangered daredevils and a horse gone through the front windshield of a car may or may not be genuine, but they certainly are incredible.

Such messages have their roots in chain letters that were once mailed out in paper form. Nowadays, the Internet allows for quick distribution of text, photos and video to many people at a time.

Lerick Johnson, 51, of Alliance, Nebraska, says he and his friends like to send funny photos and messages to each other and forward them on to friends and family. A few years ago, he went looking for Halloween pumpkin carving ideas and ended up sending photos of the more unusual jack-o’-lanterns as a mass e-mail. The photos are circulating again this year.

Stop, stop. You’re saying I can send things to people via email? Fuck off. No way. You’re lying.

I must stop writing. I have to go read I-Reporters’ stories of their mass e-mail horror stories. Have you seen the one with the redneck pictures?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? LOLzzz!
