Lie Pie Classification: terror pie

Editor's Note:  Good Lord!  This viral email scared the wadding out of me!  I'd never heard of this Simon Ashton character, but after reading the viral email below I imagined he wouldn't think twice about feasting on my innards if he ever got hold of me.  Thankfully, those good folks at Snopes.com are on top of this one, and as usual it turns out that viral emails are a poor source for accurate information.  Rest assured, honey, Simon Ashton won't be sinking his hooks into you or your computer any time soon.  --Granny, 3/29/10
