Symantec Japan, a company that prides itself on being "a global leader in infrastructure software, enabling businesses and consumers to have confidence in a connected world," sure lost the confidence of a crowd of people gathered recently at an electronics store in Tokyo to witness the unveling of a new Symantec product, when the company's mascot, Norton Fighter, became upset, grabbed a young boy, and threatened to infect him with the Sasser virus unless someone provided him with a helicopter, two Tokyo auto show girls, and a magic cape that makes you invisible, like the one Harry Potter has. Even more incredible, Norton Fighter conveyed all of his demands with just his left hand.
Symantec Japan representatives scrambled to disable the robotic mascot with a remote control, but the Norton Fighter simply zapped them with his ray gun and slipped out a back entrance with the boy still screaming for his mommy and for his gameboy.
Symantec Japan has made a statement that they will not comply with the Norton Fighter's demands. Said the Symantec Japan CEO, who asked not to be named, "We don't negotiate with mascots."
