thanks for the heads up. Although it's common sense NOT to partake in an ordeal as this, it's nice for people gullible enough to fall for it.

Hah, if anyone read the TOS or even looked at the link, they'd know not to. It's kinda like Darwinistic theory, it weeds out all the dumb people from the internet.

Believe it or not there are still some people who are gullible enough to fall for this trick. That's truly sad when that happens.
I can't believe it has been a few hours now and angelfire has not taken this down. I wrote them the second I got it. Well, right now all I'm doing is clicking submit so maybe his email box will get flooded
