Off topic: VW Safe Happens

For a brief moment, I thought to myself, what if software security companies tried to sell software with the same shocking tactics as the Safe Happens commercial series from VW. Then I came to my senses. These companies already do sell based on the idea that your data is toast without them. What is shocking in a car commercial is all too common from security vendors.
In the VW commerical, people get in to a jaring physical accident and in the security commercials people are threatened with losing all their data, the internet melting down, SCADA and a new Y2K.
