FULL STORY redirects to http://virginiavotersforanimalwelfare.com/cnnvid.html However, other links point to the CNN sites. The links that point to manage preferences has prompts to login. Therefore, I suspect this spam. A professional service like CNN will never have prompts to login when they send you messages with links to manage preferences.
