Steaming Brown Bag Awards

My friends over at SearchSecurity asked me to come up with some compliance "worst practices" for their April Fool's theme set of tips. Thus I started what I hope to become an annual tradition, which is to give out a series of awards for these nincompoops.

I'm calling the awards the "Steaming Brown Bag Awards." That's right, the award is a bag of steaming brown love, hot off the presses. A Great Dane did the honors after being fed a family of goats and a tub of Ex-Lax.

It was a tough job, but someone had to assemble the bags. Thankfully I read the 4 hour workweek and decided to outsource the awards packaging to my virtual assistant in Asia. They assure me it was an authentic Great Dane and real goats, but alas it was generic Ex-Lax. I guess it's very expensive to import Ex-Lax.

I've also picked a certain express delivery company to make sure that the brown bags get there absolutely, positively overnight. This is important because the shelf life of a steaming brown bag isn't very long. Signature is not required and I'm slipping the delivery guys a few simoleans on the side for them to light the bag on fire before they ring the bell. Hopefully before the cat gets in there.

This will be an award they don't soon forget. So without further ado: check out the list of award recipients:

WORST PRACTICES: RECOGNIZING THE BIGGEST COMPLIANCE MISTAKES

As the season of entertainment awards comes to a close, I want to
weigh in and do my first annual "Steaming Brown Bag Awards" or

the past year (or so), and the award is - of course - a steaming
brown bag.

And without further ado: The Rip Van Winkle STiBBA goes to...
