I come across a lot of weird sites on the net
but this is one of the weirdest and it is not a joke!
http://www.afterlifetelegrams.com/
Here you can send a message to the dead.
A terminally ill patient memorizes a message
and passes it on after he/she dies.
And.....it only costs you $5 a word!!
Now ain't that cheap.
The thing that disturbes me even more than the
site itself, is that there are probably people
who actually pay for this...
Also some weird quotes on the page:
"NOTICE: We are NOT exploiting terminally ill people -- All of our terminally ill messengers
are mentally competent adults who have volunteered to help us."
and:
"NOTICE: We are NOT exploiting grieving people -- We do not accept telegrams from
people who are still grieving and we have taken precautions to avoid doing so. We also do
not accept telegrams from anyone who is mentally incompetent"
Aren't they the ones that are mentally incompetent?
So don't know if you already knew this one, but I thought I'd share one of the crazy things that goes on in this disturbed and dumb world.
