play Tux racer ;-)

Edit: i just googled and there tons of references asking the same question, weird as it seems clear to me, fruit loops have a long time standing connection with hackers (and i mean hackers and not crackers) and the commercial is a downhill alpine race, so play tux racer and you will see what i mean ;-)
