Hi all,

Apropos of the discussion about IT having to educate its users against
the mass media (or not), there's an ad in the January 20, 1998 issue of
PC Mag opposite page 97. It's from McAfee, for their virus protection
software.

The background picture is a collection of random dripping hypodermic
needles strewn around on something that's supposed to look like a rusted
surface, and the ad is headlined, "After all, you never know what gets
stuck in your email." The first paragraph of the copy starts, "Did it
spend the night strung out in some seedy, two-bit chat room? Did it shoot
up through a filthy, corrupted website? What do you do when your email
shows up, with no idea where it's been the night before?" The ad manages
to degenerate from there.

Grr.
