Got a story for you guys..
I recently got a forward that said people had visions about an impending earthquake in Singapore. Now I hate forwards as much as anyone else, but this time I decided that since most Singaporeans are dumb enough to believe anything, I chose to fabricate my OWN forward, along with fake names, dates, times and addresses, and then send it out and see how long it takes to get back to me.
What I wrote was something along the lines of, if America goes to war, it will then shut down all foreign assets, companies and buildings in the interests of its American citizens. Extremely exaggerated, but nearly believable if you dont know Jack..
I also wrote that if such a thing occured, the reeling Asian economy would then totally collapse, causing thousands to lose jobs and blablabla. I even added in the worsts parts of what happens in the worst affected nations, such as riots, hyper-inflation, political revolution, blablablablabla
Then, I sent it out.
This morning in the newspapers, there was an entire page dedicated to saying that if the US really went to war, the economy would take a hell of a long time to recover, blablablablabla.
Coincidence? Or something deeper..
hmm...
