Name and preceding message deleted to hide identity of poor idiot who probably didn't even read this before s/he sent it to me (yes, gender withheld too)... Sigh...
WARNING, VIRUS ALERT:
If you receive an email message with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately WITHOUT reading it. This is the most dangerous virus yet developed.
It will rewrite your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any computer disks and cassette tapes that are even close to your computer (up to 20 feet).
It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access code, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CDs you try to play.
It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will program your phone autodial to call only your mother's number. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous virus to be taken very seriously.
It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only 1940's hits and static while stuck in traffic.
It will give you nightmares about circus midgets.
It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.
It will seduce your grandmother. It does not even matter if she is dead, such is the power of "Badtimes;" it reaches out beyond the grave to sully those things we hold most dear.
It will overwrite your word documents, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretation of key sentences.
Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, and refill your skim milk carton with whole.
Badtimes is an evil virus conceived by evil people. It is your duty to help alert the world!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

This started as a comment but grew too long so I posted it instead
Gods... that is just so...
Honestly, I don't object to people wearing fur items. But *only* if it was due to necessity, and the animal was killed in a humane fashion, instantly, and that it was used in other ways as well (meat, for example, or bones for tools). There are ways to do so respectfully, and this was and still is practiced by many native peoples around the world.
This scenario, on the other hand, is not respectul. There is no respect for the life of the creatures. There is no necessity for the use of their fur. There is complete wastage of life, and horrendous cruelty to still-living creatures. And all in the name of fashion?!
Also, let me clarify my statement that seems to be misunderstood in your message. I know I mentioned before that animals did not feel sadness or misery. But I did not mean that such cruelty can be condoned because animals don't feel sadness or whatever. What I was trying to say at that time is that animals don't linger on the past. They don't feel sadness or misery as we know it, and though they do feel a sense of loss, they recover from it quickly. There is a natural cycle of things.
They do not feel sadness in this situation either (once again, not meant to condone the acts). They don't cry about their fate or anything. They just accept it and try to cope with it (and, as you can see, often fail at it judging by the number of animals in the videos that have gone insane).
I don't know if you totally condemn the use of fur, and our final outlooks might completely disagree with each other. But what I'm trying to say here is that though we have different outlooks on the issue, at least we agree on one thing here: the atrocities committed here must NOT be allowed. It goes against the natural cycle of things with only a trivial benefit (fashion). It is needlessly cruel and utterly wasteful.

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

Look who joined the Subaru car challenge.
For those who don't know, contestants basically place their hands on the Subaru car for as long as they can. 5 min toilet/water breaks are given every 6 hours or something like that. The last person who hasn't died of heat stroke or an exploded bladder gets the car. The only difference this year is that you have to enter the contest with a partner. So if your partner faints first, you're out! As we speak, it has been 1 day and 5 hours since the contest started...
