Some people need to visit snopes.com before posting ;)

Why is the Holocaust of World War II, causing the suffering and death of millions of European Jews and others being downplayed in and, in some cases, removed from British schools at this time? -V.M.

Uh, Viggo, read this . Else your adoring fans will be jumping all over your bandwagon not on it!

Forwarding any email or posting anything in a blog (or whatever Viggo wants to call PP) without verifying authenticity are pet peeves of mine.

Re: Edited...

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

It smacked of exaggeration to me so I had to visit my favorite spot to check such stories out. :)

[gondorbunny.livejournal.com]

I think I've received that Holocaust email before.

I definitely take anything that I receive as a forwarded email with a big ol' grain of salt.

[gutentag1.livejournal.com]

I remember when he posted about the cell phones too. :D I don't think I've received that chain mail yet, but then I don't pass on chain mail either. I delete them. In a way, Viggo posting it shows he's human and can fall for silly things. As intelligent as he is, he doesn't know everything.

Now how many of his fans are going to jump ON the bandwagon?

[viggosparadise.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this. The bandwagon already starting on some sites *rollin eyes*

[kisli.livejournal.com]

I'm with puss. My biggest email pet peeve is when people don't verify! Errr!

Seriously, he need to get a grip!

[vigwig.livejournal.com]

More rays of sunshine from Perceval Press? Has Viggo ever posted anything funny there? He's like Debbie Downer.

Not checking snopes before forwarding e-mail is one of my pet peeves also. I just sent a response to one which said that "In God We Trust" was being taken off the new U.S. dollar coins, showing that the claim was false (it isn't on the face of the coin, but it IS on the edge).

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

Bad Viggo, not checking the facts! =) As for the people who do jump

on

the bandwagon (I know they're out there!), because anything Viggo writes/says is TEH TRUTH OMG!!... I'll just point and laugh. *g*

[roma-apollo.livejournal.com]

Bad on Viggo for not finding out the facts but, it seems, so I've heard, that he likes a bit of Brit bashing.

[livila.livejournal.com]

As a person who went to said British schools, I do think he's talking crap. I took history, right through to Highers ;D

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

anything that I receive as a forwarded email

And in forums, and on websites... etc. These things spread like wildfire when it's from a 'reputable' source!

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

I forward nothing! I'm probably cursed for eternity. ;)

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

he's stuck on a pedestal, doncha know? :D

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Dang he's got a long way to fall for some when he falls off that pedestal...

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Especially when people hang on someone's every word. sheeesh!

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

He's like Debbie Downer.

Mr Doom & Gloom hisself!

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

This one smacked of exaggeration. If I could see that, I figured anyone could. LOL

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

I'm joining ya in your pointing. With a headshake and a sigh thrown in. :)

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Because he likes the British government no more than that of the US?

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should force him to sit through a few instructional lessons, including checking his sources?

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

It's still on the VFB news page for posterity. :)

[wendyr.livejournal.com]

I wonder if the words "shut up and act" mean anything to him.

[wendyr.livejournal.com]

There are lots of bad things in the world, but there are lots of good things, too. I mean, you can check the Amnesty page, the MSF page, Oxfam...


He just comes off sounding like a whiny bitch with his head rammed up his ass lately.

like this?

Re: like this?

[wendyr.livejournal.com]

Exactly like that, if you replace the clothes with ratty jeans, a paint-smeared t-shirt, and some beat up boots that are probably older than I am. ;-)
