Be Virus Smart: Wear a Condom … and Maybe Download Norton

aids-virus.jpg

In the style of punters, desktop hijackers and Trojan horses circa 1998, the New Zealand AIDS Foundation is circulating this chain letter-style “viral.” (Get it? GET IT?!!!)

The punchline: “Catching a virus is easy. Always use a condom.” The page also reminds viewers that World AIDS Day takes place on December 1st.

At the bottom of the screen is one last hat-tip to a dead era (unless you have a MySpace account, in which case you still see stuff like this every day): “Please forward this email to five friends today.”
