How cool would it be if Gordon Ramsay was an infosec consultant?

Each week he visits another company and sorts out their problems in his own unique way. I could imagine a talk with many CIOs going along the lines of:
“Oh ^%$ me….what the &*$# are you actually %*&*ing doing here? Okay, show me what you actually @%$ing know about *&^%ing security!?…..if your customers actually &*$^ing knew what the $*&$ you $*&$ing do and don’t *&$#ing do, you’d make them *&^$ing ill. And who’s this #&^$ing guy you have looking after $&##ing security. Why don’t you *(#$ing listen to him?!…… oh *&#$ me!”
Blunt or beating around the bush…..what works best? I would watch this show.

Funny thing is I was thinking this a few weeks ago. Not so much with IT security in general but the general laz
It is even worse. At least with Gordon, he can look at unsanitary food practices and say that is blatantly wrong. He is backed up by laws and industry standards.
The problem with IT security and IT in general is that there is no authority that holds any weight and the only thing that is in place (OWASP) can be legitimately argued against by any “lazy programmer” as opinions of others that hold no real weight.
I love Gordon’s work. Might have to start channeling him in my day job.

he would have a similar response to many consultants providing advice to some companies as well. Oh **** me. Do you ****ing know anything at all. Do you ****ing have any experience or knowledge that ****ing gives you the authority on how to do my ****ing job. Did your employer rescue you out of the ****ing zoo you ****ing monkey. A nice suit a ****ing security consultant makes you ****ing not you stupid ****.

The Scene:
