Protip-spambots won't answer your e-mails.

They prefer texts.

Personally, I think that email is pointless. It is so entirely slow and bothersome compared to instant messaging and social media.

I love that the article mentioned that they're working on getting a death certificate to send to yahoo. This family is clearly tech retarded. Getting a death cert is like getting a pack of gum and just blocking email addresses are even easier. Emails from recently dead people are a spammers wet dream because you know the people who somehow get it in their inbox, in spite of current spam technology, are dumb enough to click on their penis enlargement spam. This leads me to conclude that intelligence and penis size are inversely proportional.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

The kicker for me is that this story has made it all the way to Drudge. I can't decide what's more pathetic-that an entire family can be completely oblivious to technology, or that nobody has bothered correcting them.

I had to read it twice to make sure it wasn't an Onion article.

It always cracks me up when someone gives me their e-mail. Nothing says "lowest priority" like an e-mail address.

To be honest, I only use e-mail to buff my sex life and keep up with my dead African relatives. Seriously, e-mail has killed more Africans that Ebola.
