    It's absolutely wrong.

    "Sad" is an adjective, not a noun, and can only become a noun with the addition of the suffix "-ness" (i.e. "sadness"). Therefore, it cannot be the object of the verb "have."

    Exclamation marks are like money.

    The more that you have, the more that you should flaunt it.

    In regular writing, no (the additional marks would be redundant), but if the purpose of using them is to get attention (and lots of it), then you can use as many as you want.

    Unless, of course, he meant SAD as in: Seven Angry Dads.

    I HAVE SAD!!!
    =
    I HAVE Seven Angry Dads.

    Then it is fine.

    I assume that's what the original poster meant.

    In most varieties of Standard English, this sentence would be considered ill-formed.

    But of course there might be some English pidgin/creole which this sentence could be considered well-formed.

    Or, to be more precise, it would be considered irrelevant whether it was correct or not.

    The SPAM actually contributed to the hilarity of the thread.
