Wow, we have a lot to catch up on here. These are e-mails sent to symone.raven@gmail.com, an address that does NOT belong to singer/actress/chubster Raven-Symone. Only stupid people think it does. Stupid people, and children. (I recommend this prior post for background on how this fake e-mail address came to be.)

Hi raven, how come your not gonna be in the cheetah girls 2. It would be no fun without u in it . what is the directors problem! I’ve seen all your series and all your films since you were three; ( my dad recorded them) You’re so lucky you’re famous ( right listen guys) (when you wasn’t famous, with millions of dollars no-one loved you or liked u or even Knew you. so I suggest yu buckle up a little, don’t spend ALL your dollars on food and if u still go to school, don’t give in 2 the food court.) (that was 1 of your series) OH SNAP I GOT-TA GO. HOLLA ( cause ther’s a story here, and I’m gonna find it. From jasmine/raven
[Note the signature: jasmine/raven. Is Jasmine such a fan that she has appended “/Raven” to her own name? That’s great. Henceforth, I want to be called Eric/Bea. I love you, Ms. Arthur!
Also, please note that Jasmine/Raven apparently wrote to Raven just so she could go off on a tangent about her own friends and their weakness for fast food.]

[So many people CLAIM to be Raven’s biggest fan, but who really is? There can be only one. I propose a fight to the death.]

Dear Raven email me every day oh snap !

[Here’s one from someone who acknowledges where she got the e-mail address from, acknowledges that she read the part explaining it’s NOT Raven’s e-mail address … yet uses it anyway. Sigh.]

hi raven,
i found this on your web site.u are so cool i love your shows and your songs.please e-mail me back when u have time
thanks,emily
[First of all, no you didn’t find this on Raven’s Web site. You found it on Eric D. Snider’s Web site, a place that only MENTIONS Raven. Seriously, the kids are alleged to be so much smarter about technology than us old people because they’ve grown up with it. Yet they’re stupid enough to think that any site that pops up after Googling “Raven Symone” is automatically Raven’s official site. Doesn’t that seem like the kind of mistake a senior citizen — i.e., someone grossly unfamiliar with the Internet — would make?
Second of all, Emily’s e-mail address contains the term “pianohorses.” Will someone please draw or Photoshop for me a picture of horses playing pianos? I would honestly love that. Thanks.]
