"Humor Control" made its debut in October 2004 as a regular newsletter section at Vmyths, a critically acclaimed website. Vmyths co-founder Rob Rosenberger realized the site was exceeding its original charter to debunk computer security hysteria. He launched HumorControl.org in February 2006 and chartered it to use comedy as a weapon against a pompous computer security industrial complex. We take no prisoners; we pull no punches; and we refuse computer security ads in order to maintain our comedic independence.

"You can always find an agent provocateur in computer security," says computer columnist John C. Dvorak. "Rob Rosenberger is much better. He's a comic provocateur." Mary Landesman of About.com calls him "the Dennis Miller of cybersecurity." Red Herring magazine describes him as "one of the most visible and cursed critics in computer security" today, and PC World magazine says he "is merciless with self-appointed virus experts and the credulous publications that quote them." Rosenberger is one of the original virus experts from the 1980s, and was one of only a dozen industry experts invited to the White House's first-ever antivirus summit meeting. He is also a budding stand-up comedian who made it to the finals in "Iowa's Funniest Person Contest" in 2005. |
