Urban Legend Zeitgeist: Disney Email Prizes

Synopsis	The first 13,000 people to forward the email will win cash or trips to Disneyworld. See the hoax here.
Is it true?	No.
Why?	Forwarded email can't be tracked. There is no Walt Disney Jr. Bill Gates and Disney Corp. don't test software with chain letters. There is no free lunch.
Comments	This is a variant of the earlier Bill Gates email tracker hoax.
