New from 1984
This is a can't-look-away funny video from Jamie Kennedy's Kickin' It Old Skool, but what strikes us as not funny are wildly inappropriate comments made by its YouTube viewers: "I fucking hate you. I actually hope that you die. I am wishing it right now" and "Now that you have read this you can't stop or you'll be cursed! In 1942 a girl was killed by her boyfriend. If you don't paste this on 5 different videos, she will appear by your bed and take your soul." Is the comments section on YouTube the new outlet for chain mail?

Yeah, it is. I've been meaning to to copy and paste all the best youtube chain mails and make a mad libs out of them. What I really like about it is that the character limit makes it impossible for the mailers to include all the crap about how Mary Sue forwarded the e-mail and won ten million dollars the next day, whereas poor Janie ignored it and was raped by a herd of wild goats on her way home from school, so they're really to the point!
