How do I know that the DNS Changer Working Group link will take me to
a legitimate site? ;-)

Yow, that's probably the link that's spreading the infection.

Just keep talking trash about things you don't know about.
If you don't at least check, you may find out on July 9.

Not a problem. The world will be ending on December 21, 2012 anyhow. It
will end regardless if you have internet access or not. The only bad
thing is that you wont be able to click the "Like" button on Facebook as
the world explodes. (Or did Facebook make a "Dislike" button for the end
of the world?)
