I know, I just had to look into the QE2 thing...
My older relatives email me this kind of stuff aall the time and I don't have the heart to tell them to please stop (again). They tend to fwd it around to all their friends and family. Sometimes it has 5 or 6 fwds deep, to be honest I don't even read that stuff anymore. One glance and off to the trash heap.
Once I did a reply-to-all (there must have been 50-100 names on the list) and asked everyone to please stop fwd'ing this junk around to each other and to take me off their junk mail list but all I got back was a sarcastic response and I still get it from them. I don't want to put them in the junk mail folder in case they send me something important...
