That appears to be the thinking of whoever commandeered TOMS Shoes' email over the weekend and sent out a message imploring customers to, for the love of god, just close their laptops for a goddamn minute.

And yeah, with an email subject line like "Toms hacked by nice man" we can see how customers might need to be warned off replying to this gentle internet soul.

Can't say we blame them.
