Direct poubelle…
17 juillet 2009 21:50 Par : T
J’ai encore reçu, ce matin, un mail plein de points d’exclamation, de gras, de couleurs, renvoyé en Cc: à des dizaines de personnes, m’annonçant avec une angoisse non feinte que le monde allait s’écrouler si je ne suivais pas les instructions qu’il contenait.
Une énième resucée du soi-disant virus de la « torche olympique », un des hoaxes les plus ridicules de ces dernières années.
Le mail ayant été envoyé, comme souvent, par quelqu’un animé de bonnes intentions et absolument ignorante de la netiquette, j’ai pris le temps de lui dire que ce mail était un concentré de stupidité, qu’il était simple d’aller vérifier qu’il traînait depuis longtemps sur le net, sous diverses incarnations et qu’en aucun cas il ne fallait envoyer un mail à plusieurs correspondants de cette façon et qu’il fallait de toute façon les mettre directement à la poubelle.
J’ai reçu un mail charmant, me présentant des excuses et me remerciant de ma démarche didactique et de lui avoir fait découvrir la netiquette.
J’apprécie les gens qui reconnaissent leurs erreurs et en tirent des leçons.
Alors, pour lui montrer que je n’étais pas fâché, je lui ai envoyé le lien vers ce (très) court-métrage traitant le thème de façon ironique :
Et aussi cette chanson, hilarante, si on est anglophone, qui traite le thème avec l’habituelle verve de « Weird Al » Yankovic : Virus Alert.
Hey, everyone, listen up, your attention if you please
We wanna give you a warning
'Cause I found out this morning
About a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get an email with the subject, 'stinky cheese'
Better off taking no chances
Under no circumstances, should you open it
Or else it will
Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record « Gigli »
Neuter your pets, and give you laundry static cling
Look out!
It's gonna make your computer screen freeze
Look out!
Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
Look out!
Erase your hard drive and your backups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Soon, very soon, it will make all the paint peel off your walls
It'll make your keyboard all sticky
Give your poodle a hickey
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
Then, it will tie up your phone, making prank long-distance calls
It'll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie,
Legally change your name to Reggie,
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool
Look out!
It's gonna melt your face right off your skull
Look out!
And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
Look out!
And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep
Look out!
And make you physically attracted to sheep
Look out!
Steal your identity and your credit card
Look out!
Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Look out!
Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That's right it's a
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
Forward this message on to everybody
Warn all your friends, send this to everybody
Tell everyone you know, tell everybody now
If you get infected, you'll wish you had never been born
So before it emails your grandmother all of your porn
Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down
Drop it in a forty-three-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely; rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online!
Virus alert!
Delete immediately before someone gets hurt!
