An innovative ransom note

With the final season of HBO’s The Sopranos fast approaching, I’ve been looking for ways to work the word “whacked” into my daily conversation. I decided that maybe a Sopranos-style enforcer would be able to extort a little innovation from that company of yours: “Innovate or the CEO gets whacked.” The note was generated using the ingenious Ransom Note Generator:

“As a service to busy kidnappers I’m delighted to offer this ransom note generator. Please

enter the text of your note in the box below (maximum 300 characters),

choose what type of paper to paste your note onto, and press ‘Enter’ to

create your ransom demand.”

Bookmark this, you never know when you’ll need it.
