Religion Sucks to Be Alberto Martinez

And I don't want to be like Alberto Martinez...

The President of Argentina received this picture and called it "junk mail," 8 days later his son died. A man received this picture & immediately sent out copies. His surprise was winning the lottery. Alberto Martinez received this picture, gave it to his secretary to make copies but they forgot to distribute: she lost her job & he lost his family. This picture is miraculous & sacred.

The email says I have to send at least twenty copies of this out or I might suffer the same fate as Alberto Martinez and/or his secretary. So I'm posting it just to be on the safe side. I feel compelled to point out, however, that Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is the president of Argentina, she's a her and not a his, and both of her children are still alive. Her husband, however, the former president of Argentina, recently passed away.

Maybe they meant some other Argentinian president—some past Argentinian president—or maybe they meant some other Argentina.

And for those of you keeping score at home: Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is Argentina's second female head of state. (Evita Perón was the first.) We haven't even had one yet.
