Dorothy and the Fish

Have you seen the commercial for Microsoft that shows the adorable little girl emailing a picture of her fish to all her family? Isn't it cute and sweet? And terrifying? I think that is the most frightening commercial I have seen in my entire life. What could be worse than little children with the ability to take pictures, and then send them out? Obviously, someone with kids thought it was a good idea, but they are wrong. So very wrong.

Think for a moment if you will, what two 5-7 year old boys could do with a camera, a computer, and unobserved free time. I submit to you, that within 15 minutes, they could destroy their parent's lives. Doesn't Outlook automatically fill in email addresses? How would you like your boss to see that photo they snagged of you plunging the toilet? Or stepping out of the shower? Or God-forbid, doing both at the same time while you are eating your shower-snack-sandwich?

People, I have seen the face of evil, and it is a camera-wielding child with WiFi.
