You've just taken the 'Plausible Bullshit' test, scientifically-tailored to figure out how susceptible you are to suggestion. So, how many of the 'reports' did you read before you finally thought 'hold on a second ..'?
1 or 2: Sharp cookie. You knew straightaway that I’d made them all up didn't you? Was it the sheer unbelievable-ness, or the fact that you're always getting bullshit emails like this?
3 or 4: Well, you got further than you should have, didn't you? But that's only because you have an enquiring mind and a healthy degree of caution. Or, you wanted to have some 'facts' to show off with!
5 or 6: You really are impressionable, aren't you? I advise you not to watch any commercials for loans, car deals or mortgages, cos they’ll end up costing you a fortune! By the way, did you know that the word 'gullible' was removed from dictionaries in 1998?

Pretty much sucked me in all the way. Does that mean this message sucks? Could be!
Does this mean I'm gullible? You bet.
Does this mean I care? Hell no!
Good job Dusty.
