This is inspired by the Firefox Bug 647959: Add Honest Achmed’s root certificate in their bugtracker. Have fun.


Sure, I’d be happy to create a radio ad for “Let’s Encrypt” in the style of a car dealership commercial. Here goes:


🎶 [Upbeat jingle playing] 🎶

Announcer: “Hey folks, it’s your pal Honest Achmed here, but today I’m not selling cars—no, no! I’m here to introduce you to something even BETTER: Let’s Encrypt, the FREE Certificate Authority that’s changing the game!”

🎉 [Sound of fireworks] 🎉

Achmed: “That’s right, my friends! You know how you need a warranty for your car to drive safely? Well, your website needs a certificate for secure browsing! And guess what? Let’s Encrypt gives it to you for FREE!”

🚗 [Sound of car honking] 🚗

Announcer: “You heard that right! With Let’s Encrypt, you can get your website running securely without emptying your wallet. Why? Because internet security should be a RIGHT, not a privilege!”

🛡️ [Sound of a shield being deployed] 🛡️

Achmed: “And folks, we’re not talking about some rusty old certificate. No sir! Let’s Encrypt provides top-notch, A-grade certificates that even your tech-savvy cousin Mustafa would approve!”

💻 [Sound of typing on a keyboard] 💻

Announcer: “But wait, there’s more! Are you tired of the complicated setup? Let’s Encrypt makes it as easy as buying a used car from Honest Achmed! A few clicks and BAM! You’re encrypted!”

🔒 [Sound of a lock clicking into place] 🔒

Achmed: “Let’s put it this way: if getting a certificate was a car race, with Let’s Encrypt, you’d be cruising in a luxury sports car while others are still inflating their tires!”

🏎️ [Sound of a car racing by] 🏎️

Announcer: “So don’t wait! Just like you wouldn’t drive without a seatbelt, don’t let your website cruise the Information Highway without a certificate from Let’s Encrypt!”

🌐 [Sound of a globe spinning] 🌐

Achmed: “Call now or visit letsencrypt.org to secure your website today! Be fast, be secure, be FREE with Let’s Encrypt!”

🎶 [Upbeat jingle resumes] 🎶

Announcer: “This message is brought to you by Honest Achmed and the Internet Security Council. Remember, folks, encrypt today for a safer tomorrow!”

🎉 [Sound of fireworks and applause] 🎉


And there you have it—a radio ad for Let’s Encrypt, Honest Achmed style! Hope you enjoyed it!
