I have taken Scott McNealy to task before regarding ambiguous, if not downright unhelpful, statements about privacy, so it is nice to point to the other side of the coin. Humour can be a great way to get an important message across, and with this top ten list via CPO Sun Michele Dennedy I think he does exactly that. I particularly like number 9. Tends to concentrate the mind, that one, at least for companies trading in California.
Top 10 Ways to Make Privacy a CEO-Level Concern
10. Show him his daughter’s MySpace page
9. Tell him the external auditors lost his personal data (on a laptop)

6. Update his Wikipedia posting

4. Tell him you lost the corporate archives
3. Re-route his security camera to YouTube
