Mac vs PC vs Ubuntu - what would Ubuntu be?

[humphreybc]

I say Optimus Prime. He comes in and crushes the other two who are whining on about things, and is just like "YEAH!" Ad over.

Thoughts?

[juancarlospaco]

Both.

[chriswyatt]

Ubuntu works on a Mac and PC, the Mac itself is a PC and PC encompasses both a Mac and IBM-compatible PC so logically the whole thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense really. The concept makes my head spin :confused:

[chriswyatt]

Going back to the original question, maybe (PC running Ubuntu) comes in and just tells (Mac running OSX) and (PC running Windows) to chill out and have a cup of coffee with him (or her, not sure what the sex of Ubuntu would be, that's another question altogether, maybe it depends on the hardware Ubuntu is running on).

Definately on topic

[chriswyatt]

I think a dual-boot PC should come in and tell them all to shutup and stop their whining. ;)

A saw a spoof of that commercial where Linux was a dork wearing a huge sloppy backpack.

[chriswyatt]

Mac looks like a drug-dealer in that pic.

Actually I don't like the look of either of them, not to mention they're beating on poor Linux and all he did was introduce himself.

[ticopelp]

He would be a guy 1% the height of the Mac and PC guys. He would jump and shout during the whole commercial and at the end they would say:

"Did you hear something?"
"Nah."

Why all OS are men?, a nice Female Ubuntu would be Sexy...

Hmm, yeah I either see Ubuntu as Optimus Prime who's completely awesome or a very good looking girl. Novell did it right in their ad.

Yeah because Optimus Prime crushing the opposition is really ubuntu way to do it.
Ubuntu = towards humanity....

I still remember that there was a "demo" video on Ubuntu 8.04 with Nelson Mandela explaining the meaning of Ubuntu. I personaly see this as the right way to do a Ubuntu commercial.

[chriswyatt]

I think Samuel L. Jackson should play the part of Ubuntu.

[SuperSonic4]

Ubuntu would be nothing. If anything RMS or Tux should be in it.

Ubuntu != GNU/Linux

[murderslastcrow]

RMS? We're talking about a physical being the would embody what the OS is like, silly! Do you really think of some guy eating his toe fungus when you boot into Gnome with Compiz? XD (k, that's a bit harsh)

But still, I think an intelligent, yet devilishly sexy woman, would be a perfect representative. XD Linux is like the girl who's up for anything, Windows is a prude, and OS X pretends to be open-minded, but draws the line on its core philosophy (you can't take this music from my house, it stays here where I sleep with my old boyfriend, the RIAA).

Always makes me laugh...

That was the most poorly acted. The best are animated south park style.

Then make Ubuntu Arcee.
