Sex, Drugs & Password Encryption

Guess if Bank Of America gets to have a rock video, so do anti-spyware companies. Rockdotrock's "Is It Really You (I'm Talkin' To?)" is a sad, commercial attempt at viral video -- but it's so bad that Norton has gotta be in on the joke. And so fucking predictable! As always, the fraud-proof software gets the babe. Beat it, online perps.

Yeah, expect to alot more of this garbage. Madison Ave. is clamouring to produce shit like this and they're proving themselves to be quite dull.

i'm sorry, i'm a little lost on the symbolic implications of the plot here.

so this guy is trying to masturbate online with his girlfriend, even though she lives down the street... and he discovers she's a whore... so he rounds up a posse, and then somehow uses Norton Antivirus to commit murder in cold blood... and then we're presumably leading into a gay gangbang... and then it turns out to all exist in the Matrix? is this a dream Ted Stevens had about spyware?

i'm looking forward to the wave of crap like this over the next six months, as the fruits of every exec in america ordering "i want something viral" takes effect.

Rhyming "name" with "name" and "name?" Brilliant.
