    Our paper ran an outdoors column a couple months ago which was basically a word-for-word pasted chain e-mail about how the eevil libburral socillist guvvmint (and especially the commie-pinko muslim neegro President) is all ready to send armed ATF agents to kick down your door and come get your guns and ammo, so you probably better stock up right now.

    Ran it verbatim. Straight. With the usual disingenuous concern-trolling intro:

    "I recently received a very interesting e-mail I think everyone needs to read immediately."
