    John McAfee, that is.

    I can remember the days when his company was the dominant player in the antivirus world. A bizarre coda to their decline.

    You think that's weird?

    Bill Norton was arrested for raping a dinosaur skeleton while high on salvia at the Field Museum in Chicago.

    That's Peter Norton.

    Edit: him and Eugene Kaspersky seem to be doing fine.

    So what's the story with these bath salts, really? It's a drug that makes you murder everyone you see?

    My mistake. I was thinking of John Malwarebytes.

    Or was it Ed Microsoftsecurityessentials?

    He was jamming bath salts up his ass to get boners.

    MacAfee rebranding to begin in 3...2...

    The crazy stuff Ubisoft will do to advertise Far Cry 3.

    A Wired editor has been in contact with him and tweeting about it.

    “I have modified my appearance in a radical fashion,” McAfee said, “I’ll probably look like a murderer, unfortunately.”
  10. Raife Magister Mundi Elyscape

    He already looked like a murderer. How much worse can it get?
  11. extarbags Already Beat BF's New Expansion

    According to the follow-up tweets he died his hair and eyebrows black. So one percent worse.

    That reminds me - I need to go through all the computers in the office and make sure it's not installed on any of our machines.

    Doesn't describing the changes you've made to your appearance sort of, I don't know, defeat the purpose of changing your appearance? Just asking.

    Belize cops don't read twitter I guess.

    Well, one thing is for certain... his trial will last 30 days.

    To be fair, salvia is kinda fucking awesome.

    Unless he pays to continue it, right? But once he gets tired of it, he won't be able to get rid of it easily.

    Gold.

    Also, from Stephen Grant on Twitter: "Congratulations to Belize for being the first people to successfully uninstall McAfee."

    I just read Wired's hard-copy article about McAfee's recent bizarreness and downfall, and the story strongly hints that it may have been his teenage girlfriend who killed the neighbor.

    Meanwhile, Peter Norton cries out for attention.

    Does anybody still believe a word the guy says anymore? It's hard to tell if he's legitimately nuts or if he's just having a good old trolling time.


    I'd guess nuts with a side of paranoid.

    The world is a more interesting place if you pretend that he's not making any of it up.

    My vote is for Jeromy Irons, he vaguely resembles the guy. Roy Schneider would be a good pick too, if he was still alive.
  27. Lizard_King Already Beat BF's New Expansion

    I'm sure Rob Schneider would do, in a pinch. But let's go all in and request Daniel Day Lewis.
