Why is Eddie sending me junk like this?

[Frogman]

So I fire up my email client this fine morning, and it starts downloading messages. One of them is from Eddie Spinks, of American Air. What does the email contain?

Don't pump gas on May 15th.
In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of
gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all Americans are asked to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now almost $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the Internet and the average car takes about 20 to 30 dollars to fill up.
If all American s did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take $2,200,000,000.00 (that's BILLION) out of the oil company's pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this titled 'Don't pump gas on May 15th'--
It may not do anything, but who knows!

Now, I like Eddie. Him and I had some words when I bought some parts from him, but I would buy from him again in a heartbeat. But Eddie, please! I don't like spam. Be it in an email or in a can.

Because he likes you!

 

[Frogman]

Right... If you like someone, you don't send them spam. :lol:

 

[turborich]

Really? is that why I get so much crap in my e mail? No one likes me?

i'm not gonna buy gas on may 15th, not because i believe it will actually work, but because i fill up my tank every sunday and the 15th doesn't fall on a sunday.


PS: "gonna" is an actual word? the spell check over sees this word as being "correctly spelled"

 

[Frogman]

Seems to be...
gonna |ˈgônə; ˈgənə|

informal contraction of going to :

we're gonna win this game.

I'm a customer of Eddie's as well, but I haven't gotten this or any other spam from him. In any case, Snopes pwns this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/nogas.asp
