The Battle Cry Of Cyber Monday


The Battle Cry Of This Day, 
The Feast of Cyber Hackers & Phishers

by Nick Ashton, redtagged.us


This day is call’d the Feast of Hackers, Phishers

& Man in the Middle Brutal Attackers.

St. Expedite, their patron saint and allout slime bucket.

He or She that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse them at the name of Cyber Monday.


They that shall live this day, and see old age
with their financial information intact and money 

at their disposal and their identity safe.

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “Today was Saint Expedite's Day.”


Then they will strip their sleeves, wallets and 

bank/credit/debit card statements and show the scars,
And say “These financial wounds I had on Cyber Monday's Day.”


Old men forget; yet all shall not be forgot,
But they’ll remember, with dis-advantages,
What feats that did that day. Of Hackers preying on their addiction

and their own lack of Cyber Security,
which they had entrusted to fools.

Then shall the names of whence they shopped on-line,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Amazon, Target and Walmart, Best Buy,
JCP and Macy's, EBay and Google


Be in their flowing annoying cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son and daughter;
And Cyber Monday shall ne’er go by.


From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd-


We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood and spends cash with me.


Purchasing face to face, eye to eye and transporteth themselves

Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile.

This day shall act gentle on his or her shopping condition;
And gentlemen and ladies in the world now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks.

That fought with us upon Cyber Monday.

Saints & Cyber Sinners

Saints & Cyber Sinners
by Nick Ashton, RedTagged.us

Forget about who has been naughty or nice!

From Thanksgiving on, you should be aware of who is preying on your gluttony and greedish stupidity!

Isidoro de Sevilla (José Alcoverro) 02
Oh where for art is St. Isidore of Seville – Patron Saint of the Internet?

Yes, the man of knowledge who invented encyclopedias. Britannic rules and Wikipedia is so truthful!

The Order of St. Isidore of Seville is a chivalric order formed on January 1, 2000. An international organisation, the order aims to honour Saint Isidore as patron saint of the Internet, alongside promoting Christian chivalry online.

Wait a cotton picking nano-second! 

Chivalry online? Then who is the patron saint of Hackers and Phisher?

St. Expedite -- the unofficial patron saint of Hackers & Phishers.

Unofficial, because the Roman Catholic Church doesn't know what to do about St. Expedite. He's too pagan to be a proper saint, and too popular for his statues to be simply tossed out the door.

Statues of St. Expedite seem to appear at some churches, a puzzling phenomenon. Where do the statues come from? Who sends them? No one really seems to know who St. Expedite was in life or even if he ever existed.

But whatever St. Expedite may or may not be, geeks, hackers, phishers, man in the middle brutal attackers, repentant slackers, folks who run e-commerce sites and those who rely on brains and sheer luck to survive have all claimed the saint as their own.

So as you go about your Cyber shopping, you are being watched over by those that fail to protect your financial information they have amassed on you and digitally pray they do not suffer from "Target Syndrome" by allowing the Hackers to steal what is rightfully yours.

On the other hand, Hackers & Phishers are preying with theirSaint Expedite on your foolishly clicking of websites, with offers that are so not real, stealing all of your financial information and identity, sending you to that never ending circle of failed customer service and banking nightmare.  They hoovering over Wi-Fi Hotspots, who the Internet Service Providers tell you are safe.  They are tell telling "Pork Pies", little lies as any cockney will tell you.

So next time you hear the words at the supermarket checkout, "Paper Or Plastic", go for paper, with real money and the goods in front of you.

Happy Cyber Sunday, Monday and the rest of the buying and hacking days 'til Christmas.  

From Jolly Old St. Nick
