« Home | English posts vs. Japanese posts »

The name's Jonathan. I studied Japanese at The Yamasa Institute in Okazaki, Aichi in Japan for two years until March 2008. This bilingual weblog is a personal journal of thoughts and experiences related, sometimes in tenuous ways, to Japan, its language, and to my journey to understand them both better. I'm utterly infatuated with typos and strive to incorporate them in all of my work. (E-mail me at jontarou at the domain of gmail.com.)
はじめまして。僕はアメリカのジョン。 2006年4月に、初めてアメリカを出て来日し、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月に帰国し、アメリカの生活に戻ったが、心がまだ日本にあるようである。 このブログは最初には日本生活の日記であったが、現在は日本語の勉強の一部として、あるいは日本に関する知識を高めるために書き続いている。 日本と日本語に限らずコンピューター・任天堂・囲碁などにも興味あり。よろしく! メールはjontarouアットマークgmail.comに、どうぞ。

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

[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.

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.

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.
