Hello all. This is a chain letter that I am starting (hear me
out).There is nothing I loathe more than chain letters. Well, except for
the teenage obsession and recent success of such male quintuplet vocal
acts as: The Backstreet Boys, N Sync, and 98 Degrees, and Five. I am
the boy with cancer. I am Bill Gates with the enticing offer with an
all-expense paid trip to Disneyland. I am the naive college freshman
whose kidneys are no doubt being sold for thousands of dollars on the
black market.

Now, to expose the plot, a nefarious scheme I’ve
contrived to pay them all back. The idea struck me-like a truck running
into a flightless bird who had inadvertently chosen to cross the
road-while I was watching TRL yesterday. TRL, for those of you who don’t
know, is the abbreviation for the showcase of Carson Daly witticisms
that is Total Request Live on MTV MTV itself being an abbreviation for
music television).

Here is what we must all pull together and do:
send this email to as many people as possible. The message is simple.
On March 10, 1999, mark your calendars now, everyone who has received
this email will get on-line and, before the airing of Total Request
Live, cast their vote for the New Kids on the Block’s epic music
video-”Hanging Tough.”

It is the ultimate insult to popular culture. And here is the
compelling, dramatic, conclusion: I don’t know if this is original.

I don’t know if anyone has ever had this thought before. You won’t be
cursed with bad luck and misfortune if you choose not to pass this on.
You, in turn, will not reap lifelong rewards and benefits if you do.
But you will laugh your ass off if it works. And in that hysterical fit
of laughter you will live the long fruitful life and die the ill-fated
tragic death all at the same time. We can make this happen.

P.S. Be sure to include ridiculous things in your request, such as:
“Please Carson, will you play “Hangin’ Tough” by the New Kids on the
Block. Danny is such a clean-cut boy, and he’ll never be in trouble
with the law. Also, I think that these guys have the Right Stuff, and
they’re going to be around for a long time.”
