The insinuation that a holdup victim is such a helpless, cowering idiot that he wouldn't use a gun to defend himself--even when handed one in the middle of the holdup--is so insulting that it makes me want to start building public bonfires fueled with Norton products...

Watch about halfway through this video, when the bank robber with the pistol hands his gun to the customer so he can make change, and the customer just sits there, holding the pistol like it's going to bite him...
This is why I don't EVER use ANY product that Norton sells. They think we're all idiots who can't fend for ourselves.
Screw their software, and screw their predictive programming ad campaign. I've got a Mac and I don't waste my time on "download" sites so I don't get computer viruses. And if some bank robber is stupid enough to hand me his gun during a holdup, their plans are going to take a VERY unexpected turn...
Relying on BS software like Norton to keep your computer safe is like relying on the police to keep you and your family safe. This ad is a VERY clever and subtle way to reinforce the "victim mentality". Even when the victim is presented with the tools he needs to STOP the situation, he just sits there like a deer in the headlights...
This sort of "victim mentality programming" is intolerable. People who are aware of their evil ruse should point this out to the public. People who are awake and responsible should call for boycotts of this company, for insulting the intelligence of the public, and trying to program us to think that we are incapable of ensuring our own safety--even when we have the tools to do so right in our own hands.
This ad is the WORST kind of anti-gun FUD, because it's ostensibly about something completely different, but the REAL message is "You are helpless, clueless, and can't take care of yourself without the help of "experts" or "professionals"."
Disgusting... Pitiful.... and insidiously evil...
This sort of ad campaign is so blatantly anti-liberty and anti-personal-responsibility that it would be almost laughable, if it weren't such an insult to my intelligence.
I hope Norton's corporate servers get hacked by Japanese teenagers and their website gets replaced by HelloKitty porn anime'...
