After The Rapture Email Service

Stupid Business Watch: After-the-Rapture E-mail Service Debuts

From the comically flawed-business-model file comes the recent launch of the “You’ve Been Left Behind” after-the-rapture e-mail service.

Ostensibly, the service allows Christians who are saved and whisked off to heaven just before Armageddon arrives to send e-mail messages to friends and family who aren’t.

Note: Lightheartedly poking fun at the business model behind an after-the-rapture e-mail service should not be construed as disrespect for anyone’s religious beliefs. Magilla has the utmost respect for all people of faith whose beliefs do not advocate or translate into violence.

However, this business model was just too goofy to pass up.

According to various online sources, those who believe in the Rapture contend that before Armageddon and the second coming of Christ, God will take all those who are saved into heaven, leaving the rest of us down here on earth wondering what happened to them as the fireworks to follow begin.

For an initial fee of $40 for one year—the following years’ fees will be determined by the number of members—You’ve Been Left Behind’s after-the-rapture e-mail service allows subscribers to set up documents that can be sent to up to 62 e-mail addresses automatically just after they disappear to explain what happened.
