Snoop Dogg Teams Up With Norton to Say: "Hack is Wack"

[kintaris]

Damn it! I clicked on this story expecting to see Snoop Dogg rapping with Edward Norton about computer crime. Damn it!

 

[Keele]

Ok, first, how is spam mail a cyber crime? Their advertisements! and second, if my neighbors don't want me using their wireless internet they should lock it, I've told them so and they said "Whatever *****!" and walked off, so I think I'm in the good there. (until ACTA gets passed, then the cops show up and, whoo boy)

Even if they don't put a lock on their Internet, you have no right to use it.

Why should they have to put a lock on THEIR Internet? You just shouldn't be using it. Period.

Yeah, that'll be something. One of the upsides of the ACTA.

 

[Vie]

Erm, Mr Dogg Sir, might I just point out that Norton makes some of the crappiest anti virus software currently available on the market?

Are they REALLY the right people to advertise for? Considering the damage your own image will get when Norton's god awful software goes boom on a persons computer?

 

[flaming_squirrel]

Ahahahah, oh wow.

The winner will also receive tickets to a Snoop Dogg concert and a laptop with Norton Internet Security 2011 installed

Two of the most worthless prizes I've seen to date, perhaps McAfee could top this though.

 

[Neevar]

quick, who just sank further here? Snoop dog or Norton?

Both.

imo, this colab is retarded...

How has no one mentioned this?
WARNING: IT'S SNOOP DOGG, SO IT'S NSFW.

And that is even more...retarded funny...it's like Snoop's having a crush on Anna Paquin.I feel like he's making a fool of himself. Not that he wasn't doing that before but damn. How stupid is that?!

"woof woof" lmfao-cry

 

[icyneesan]

Yo Snoop Dog, I'm happy for you and all and I'm gonna let you finish but Nortan sucks. Balls.

 

[antidonkey]

So if I'm supposed to take PC security advice from Snoop..who am I supposed to get ho pimpin' advice from now? Steve Jobs? Bill Gates?

Seriously, is there anything Snoop Dogg won't shill for? All I can think of when I see him these days is how much of a sell out he has become. I guess I can't really blame him but stick the things that make sense given how you came to your celebritiness.

 

[robotam]

How no one has mentioned Don't Copy That Floppy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up863eQKGUI] yet is beyond me. That was already in my head before finishing reading the headline, much less the article.

First thing I thought of when I saw the title.

 

[Digikid]

So let me get this straight. Some has-been singer get a promotion with a company that makes HORRIBLE software that does not do SQUAT except ruin computers.

Yep...sounds about right to me.

 

[Aphex Demon]

I heard he's a windows guy...
mac-is-wack

HAHAHAHA :|

 

[Blackjack 222]

Yeah, do as Snoop says. Don't break the law (unless that law is against smoking weed, hiring hookers, stealing or shooting people).

But this law is about a common courtesy of "Don't send me crap emails i don't need"]

Anyways..... Rapping Cyber police. I sense Lulz in the coming future

 

[Twilight_guy]

Norton Anti-virus being endorsed by a rapper. I never thought I'd see the day. Well computer science is starting to infiltrate the mainstream let's all get in our bunkers and wait out the impending doomsday.

This is weird. I don't see why Snoop Dogg would do this but I guess he has computer whoos too.

 

[ark123]

So the rapper known for not giving a fuck about laws is chosen to preach about giving a fuck about the law? Thats brilliant casting right there. Maybe they can resurrect Michael Jackson to speak against child rape next

 

[skywalkerlion]

I heard that he's going to start a campaign against yellow ghost eating spheres: pac-is-wack, and also eating between meals: snack-is-wack.

I laughed in real life Nice one, welcome to the escapist.

And yeah, it's a shame it has to be for freaking Norton as opposed to ANY OTHER ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE.

 

[SelectivelyEvil13]

No wonder Norton is awful, they go with Snoop Dogg to make a promotion with the word "Wack" in it. By the way, how well did that work for Whitney Houston?

I have the Norton Security Suite because of my ISP and I can affirm that it needs to crawl in a pit to be buried. So many grievances to be turned off; I do not want to BACK UP every single file on my computer, Norton, thank you, now kindly knit yourself an arsenic sweater and choke like my computer speed.

 

[Milo Windby]

Does the more in the sign refer to the fact that norton is more a virus itself than an antivirus program? It is easily the worst antivirus program ever and imppossible to get rid of when you realize that.

Ugh, i hate this argument.

If you can't get rid of Norton properly then you shouldn't install it. Removing Norton simply requires making sure you remove ALL the files yourself, and not use the express uninstall option it comes with.

Yeah, you shouldn't have to do that, sure. But its not /that/ hard to get rid of.

Your right of course. If I can't get rid of it properly I should never install it, However when it goes and installs itself on my computer with out me knowing or wanting it installed then we start getting into the realm of Virus.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Am I the only one who originally pictured Edward Norton rapping with Snoop Dogg?

Well, if that's happened, i'm pretty damn sure you can write a letter of complaint because i'm pretty sure thats illigal. Unauthorised access to a computer and all that.

Anyway, never had that happen, so i have no idea what you've experienced.
