Shakespeare on Security.

Shakespeare on Security. In 2007, AT&T produced this nest of corporate videos which posited what would happen if "The Bardster" took a job working in an IT Department. Episodes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8.

What you've linked to is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever seen. At no point in this rambling, incoherent series of sketches were they even close to anything that could be considered a funny joke. Everyone on this website is now dumber for having watched it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Actually, most of Shakespeare's output was generated by the Marlowe virus, which was going around then.

I chuckled at "Yep, that's the Bardster."

Friends, workers, executives, lend me your desks;
I come to run McAfee, not to upgrade.
The installs that men do live after them;
Trojans are oft passed on with their drives;
So let me run McAfee. Your cubicle friend
Hath told you McAfee was a virus:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously shalt IT answer it.
Here, under leave of HR and the rest -
For your friend is a knowledgeable man;
So are you all, all knowledgeable men -
Come I to speak in McAfee's honor.
