Reader's Digest has a "must read" entry on Snopes.com. If they actually print this in the magazine, it could do more to reduce rumor-foward-spam than anything in the history of the web... Of course, there are other theories about Snopes:

I have a friend who tends to send me a lot of forwards - mostly stupid jokes, but the occasional "I'm a white male american and I'm outraged at something" petition. The problem is, every single thing he has sent me that quotes some sort of time/place/event has been completely and utterly false. As in, never happened. Moreover, any of this could be discovered by five seconds with Google.
So, I now realize those petitions aren't a document that demonstrates grassroots support, but a comprehensive list of people that do not know how to use Google.
