A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
A wonderful video and a good cause......
Autism Speaks created a music video of the Five for
Fighting song, "World", which features images of autistic children and
their
families. It is a truly moving video and was the work of Bill Shea.
The band is generously donating $0.49 to Autism Speaks for each time the
video is viewed - the funding goes toward research
studies to help find a cure. When you have a moment, please visit the link
below to watch the video and pass it along to your friends and family.
They are aiming for 10,000 hits, but hopefully we can
help them to surpass this goal.
