Just at the beginning of the month, I posted at the Doctors for America Blogabout a couple of ridiculous email campaigns that will not die, in spite of how ridiculous they both were and are.
A friend sent me another one this morning, which is actually a YouTube video (link below). The video is based on previously debunked BS email that was going around in 2009, as noted by Snopes. At the time, Politifact covered it, and you can read the debunking here.

What is most astounding to me is that you can have a steaming pile of BS, like the original letter, and then take the time and effort to turn it into a video without, apparently, using The Google to see if any of it is true! Who does this stuff?
