I checked my mailbox at work for what has to be the first time ever today because something was sent to me through interoffice mail. One of the pieces of mail was from Verisign. The heading read:

“DIABOLICAL INTERNET PIRATES COULD BE TARGETING YOUR SITE.”

I kid you not.

Apparently all I need is Verisign 128-bit SSL encryption and I won’t have to worry. On the other side of the mailing they have a picture of a scantily clad anime girl holding a laptop and wearing headphones. I can’t quite figure out how she fits into the whole diabolical internet pirate thing. Maybe she is a pirate?

The whole thing makes me feel kind of nauseous.
