New level of low. People are dying while others are laughing, trying to make a buck.
Really, too bad.

Toms - you should talk to humble bundle and get some sort of special promotion, selling games for an emergency charity. They'd probably listen to you, right? 😛

I got one too, but I knew its a fake. If the radiation concentration is still dangerous here in Australia, Japan is no more!

(sorry guys, I had to make that joke)..

On topic: Spam will hit our mailbox soon too, so, don't mind the SMS, be aware of the viruses coming on the next few days on your email.

everything about it says fake, if sms fake. nobody writes global news over sms or email. just watch official tv.

People will always find ways to exploit disasters. It's just too bad.

Low. Besides, there are so many inaccuracies in the message, it's not even funny. Betadine on the skin? You WILL get burned IF you do that.

whilst following this on the bbc http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698

i came across this little gem:https://sites.google.com/site/oliveinenglish/

whilst readers may have a giggle when reading through it, its choc full of applicable and practical advice that will really help out anyone stricken in japan. The only major flaw there is that its on the internet, which i doubt many people can access without any power. even the iphone needs network towers...

Also, Agreed.....Sick with the fake text... To think there are some people behind this making a buck likely, is sad...Really should be ashamed.
