Broken Plot Device

I normally don’t bother reading spam mail, but I just got this in my inbox and it completely cracked me up.

Hi,
This is Tara and John, the directors of MSN,’
Sorry for the interruption but MSN is closing down. This is because too many inconsiderate people are taking up all the name (e.g. Making up lots of different accounts for just one person, etc.), we only have 578 names left. If you would like to close your account, DO NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE ON. If you would like to keep your
Account, then SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. This is no
joke, we will be shutting down the servers.
Send it on, thanks.

P.S.
WHO EVER DOES NOT SEND THIS MESSAGE, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED AND ITWILL COST YOU 10.00 A MONTH TO USE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST. NOW YOU
KNOW WHAT TO DO. PLEASE DO NOT FORWARD THIS or REPLAY. COPY THE WHOLE EMAIL.
GO BACK TO YOUR INBOX AND CLICK ON NEW. AND PASTE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION.

This is no joke if you don’t believe us then go to this site:

andsee for yourself. Anyways once you’ve sent this message to at least 18contacts, your MSN icon will become blue. Please copy and paste don’tforward because people wont read them.

- Tara and John

omg, people are using up all of the names on MSN so they’re closing it!!! Yet, even though they’re closing it, somehow you’ll still have to pay $10 a month to them to use a closed service! And the owners, lastnameless Tara and John, don’t want that. Close your MSN account now!!!1

People are funny sometimes.
