Another entry for obfuscated python... %-)

This past week, everyday when I opened my Wall Street Journal, I was 
met with a full page ad from Microsoft. This ad was dominated by three 
simple words "Protect your PC." This strikes me as something akin to 
the Saudi government running ads in the New York Times in mid-September 
of 2001 saying "Protect your Tall Buildings." --Russ McGuire
