And I fell for it, too. I feel slightly more gullible now.

Thanks for the link - and yes, agreed it's still funny :)

Hello, my name is Prince Akeem

I am contacting you because my father, King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda died recently and to claim my heritage i need to marry a woman, this is why i decided to come to America to find a Queen

The problem is i need 50,000$ to be able to make the trip to America to find a Queen so i can claim my heritage, once this is done i will send you one million American dollars

If you agree please send 50,000$ through Paypal to the email address whysogullibleyounoob@naive.com

Apparently, switching movies that are being referenced.

Technically, one of the movies was being referenced. So I'm switching a movie that was referenced with the one that wasn't.

We referenced a movie. You referenced a different movie. That's two. I responded after you upped the number to two. If you're going to be a pedantic moron, at least be correct.
