Debunking the "Stella Awards"

The "Stella Awards" that make the email rounds every now and then are lies, my friends. Ask yourself who would have an incentive to create this garbage.

Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey concludes with these statements:

Here's the lesson: The next time an Internet tale makes you think things are even worse than you thought, check it out. Especially when the tale suggests that the American system is stacked against wealthy corporations. One easy way: www.snopes.com, an excellent site that investigates urban myths. It took less than 30 seconds to ask for "Stella Awards" and receive the verdict: "False."

Well said.
