Norton Fighter | ノートンファイター

This rather made my night.
これってさ、気に入ったんだ。

They did a good job on it, I think.
よく作られたんじゃないか？

(I think the icing on the cake, for me, is that I wouldn't let Norton's software anywhere near my computer.)

It is very funny! I really enjoed it, thank you.

In turn, I will teach another funny movie that my son taught me. Here. But, you might have already seen it.

Wow, this is the first thing that Norton did that is at all in the category of good things.

Do you notice the guys in black clothes?
They come from "Shocker" in Kamen Rider

[Bikenglish:] Actually, I have seen that video, but thanks for posting it for the sake of those that might not have of. It's really a classic.

[Eldonnemar:] Seriously. I can't say how effective the ad actually was, but I know it was fun to watch. (Him and his Putties.)

[Anonymous:] Hey, you're right. The resemblance is quite strong, too. Thanks for the heads-up.

[山本へ] You're quite welcome!

Elddon's already shared basically my sentiments. I will, however, add that technically it's Symantec's software - Norton hasn't really been involved much since the brand was sold.

Hoooweee, they're just coming out of the woodwork now. Actually, I didn't know that the brand was even sold. Hm.

Posted by Jonathan | 12/07/2007 10:29:00 AM

Yeah. Actually Norton himself sold his company to them back in 1990; which is to say, probably before you knew the product existed. They kept using the brand because it had credibility. Hell, they kept using his face until about 2001.

Posted by Kunan | 12/07/2007 06:46:00 PM

I certainly remember the face, but, yeah, I had no idea it all went back so far.

"I think the icing on the cake, for me, is that I wouldn't let Norton's software anywhere near my computer."

You make me laugh! This is rich! Yeah, you should never use Norton with Windows XP security pack 2. It will slow your computer down and crash your hard drive.

Welcome! 自己紹介！

The name's Jonathan. I studied Japanese at The Yamasa Institute in Okazaki, Aichi in Japan for two years until March 2008, when I returned to Houston, Texas in the USA. This blog is written in English and in Japanese, essentially according to my mood. I am also infatuated with typos and strive to incorporate them in all of my work.

はじめまして。米国人のジョンです。 2006年4月上旬、初めてアメリカを出国し、愛知県の岡崎市のYAMASA言語文化研究所で日本語を2年間勉強した。 2008年3月下旬、米国のテキサス州のヒューストン市に帰国。現在、再びの日本生活を思案して日本語習得を続けながら仕事と大学の両立で多忙中。よろしくお願いします。
