Share this post to get a free iPhone and cure for Cancer

If you share this post you'll get one of 154,899 free iPhones 5 that can't ever be sold because the plastic wrapping has been taken off

Now ignoring the fact that apple reuse every single part they can from used iPhones etc, is anyone really going to give you a free iPhone, worth around £500, because its not wrapped. I think I know where I'd be heading, it would start with E and end with Bay

As 'shared' posts go I guess this isn't the worst kind, it just takes advantage of people's naive desire for a freebie, and why not....we're in a recession you know

No, the award for worst shared post is a tie between 'International Day with a Y in it Day' and 'Share this post to cure cancer'

I have had more experience with cancer than I need to have had, none would be the only acceptable amount and there is no question that it is a terrible disease, and people should be more aware of the symptoms etc, but a shared Facebook post will not cure anything

The only acceptable Facebook posts related to illness that I think are worth sharing are the people doing something to help, running a marathon, jumping out of a plane, heck sitting in a bath of baked beans is enough if it raises money

Now, onto the next problem. 'International whatever day'....share this post. If people care enough to share the post/image, why not care enough to spend 2 minutes looking up A: if it really is that day, and B: does it even exist anyway

I've realised I could actually keep on and on about stupid posts. But my last ones are 'tell everyone, if someone phones you claiming to be from....' and 'All parents be aware, so and so's, friend's, sister's, auntie's, brother's, best friend's, landlord's beer supplier told me that there's a nasty man outside a school somewhere in a 20 miles radius of......'

There has been a fantastic new website started, just yesterday 'apparently' called Google

www.google.co.uk or www.google.com

It's called a 'search engine' and you can type stuff into it and searches the information super highway for you. In less than 30 seconds it will confirm that what you are sharing is complete rubbish. All you are doing is creating fear amongst others, most likely regarding something that happened 10 years ago or most likely NEVER HAPPENED AT ALL

Only one appropriate picture for today I think

Bye bye for now
