A frame from a Peanuts animation, depicting Lucy yanking the football away from Charlie Brown, who is somersaulting through the sky. It has been altered. Lucy's head has been replaced with Microsoft's Clippy. Charlie Brown's head has been replaced with a 19th century caricature of a grinning Uncle Sam. The sky has been replaced with a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.

Microsoft pinky swears that THIS TIME they'll make security a priority
Look, I'll stipulate that using "Clippy" as a symbol for Microsoft personified is a bit antiquated, but I like to think that for those who know, they *really* know. The Uncle Sam is Keppler again. With apologies to Skippy Shulz, natch.
