Something to do with Marketing... eventually

I just put this here from a chain letter. Guess the whole curse will work anway.

Lisa committed suicide in her room and nobody knew why. Well one day, Lisa's friends put a camera in her room to see if they would be able to see her. When they watched the tape, they didn't see anything for awhile. Later on they watched more of the tape and they saw her come out of the doorway and they were totally freaked out. They never went in her room again.
(Copy the text, put it in your mailbox and) Forward this to at least 10 people within the next hour!! Or else the ghost of Lisa will haunt you forever. Don't believe me? Karen read this and thought it was another stupid and fake forward. She never believed in forwards. So, she deleted it... the next morning Karen was found dead in her bed... Her parents didn't know what happened, she had blood all over her and looked like she was cut with a knife, but there was no evidence to who did it. Could it be because Lisa came in her room and killed her or was it just a coincidence?
~You decide~

Such mails keep showing up in my mailbox. What is pathetic is exactly how many people fall for it. Some people are really superstitios, and they just don't want to "take chances" when it comes to such things. So if you say something like "forwards this to twenty five people or you will never find a soulmate", and the mail gets propogated, spilling the web with pointless copies of useless text. This is like the ultimate
a) example of mankind's stupidy and insanity
b) height of being pathetic
c) advertising opportunity

good idea would be to exploit this tendency to sell a product.
