Here is the text of the email:
Hey Guys,
This is really freaky!
Subject: Do you see it?? OMG you really can see it……….
YOU MUST READ THIS FIRST!!!! And be sure your speakers are on!
This is a Car Advertisement that was never released. Watch your screen closely with the SOUND ON…you do need sound. When the film crew finished filming the Car Ad, the people who edited it noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. The Ad was never put on TV because of the unexplained ghostly phenomenon frightened the production team out of their wits. Watch closely as the car comes from behind the trees about halfway through the commercial, look and you will see the white mist crossing in front of the car, then following it along the road…Spooky!
Save this movie to disk for best results.

Basil that was just cruel and wrong

It’s a freakin’ caffeine commercial, and in case you don’t speak german, the line said: “You’ve never been this awake.”
I agree with Lisa…this, I did not need. When I get this kind of adrenaline surge, I have blood sugar problems for quite a while after. Thanks a bunch. Usually I don’t expect this kind of fright unless I’m in a near miss traffic situation.

Sorry, ladies.
September 24th, 2004 at 10:25 am
I forgive you. It IS kind of funny….sorta….
September 24th, 2004 at 10:47 am
It must be a guy thing. You have to at least like rollercoasters and scary movies, I guess.
