From the “So Obvious It's Obvious Department,” comes this lovely piece of email from OnStar [1]:

Subject: A hurricane is on the way. OnStar Crisis Assist can help
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2017 13:02:07 -0600
> …
Hurricane Irma is coming your way. OnStar Crisis Assist can help keep you safe.
…
Please be advised that a hurricane is heading your way …
My initial thought was, no XXXX, but it's clear that OnStar is trying to say they can help us to survive Hurricane Irma [2] (it's mainly “we can help you travel safely out of the area”). I think what I found most egregious about this email is the subject line, “A hurricane is on the way.” Perhaps a better subject line would have been “Let OnStar help protect you and your family durring the hurricane.” Because if you haven't heard there's a hurricane coming to town, you are either a misanthropic hermit living the middle of a Florida swamp, or in a coma for the past two weeks.
But it's nice to know that OnStar cares enough to send an email, though.
