I was just reading the responses in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455765

I was wondering which are your favorite Ubuntu user inspired YouTube commericials?...and also a challenge for Ubuntu users to make and post Ubuntu videos for community enjoyment on YouTube.

I remember firefox did this a while back(not on Youtube but their own site), and their may even be an old thread where Ubuntu users did do this, but my challenge to Ubuntu users is to have fun and post your videos on YouTube then post the link here. So all Ubuntuforum.org members can watch....then we can vote for our favorite.

Ok, sounds like a crazy idea?...maybe but it also sounds like fun....

Lets start this now and run this until July 4th then the community can vote for our fav.

What do you think?

PC: "Aww, man... I'm down again. Those darn viruses and worms and spyware and trojan horse programs keep messing me up. I mean... I've got norton and everything, but I still get 'em! Not only that, but every time I try to update my video driver, I keep getting this wierd error message and a blue screen of death... I thought those were gone with Windows 98!"

Mac: "That's too bad, bro. Glad I don't have those problems you do. I don't really get viruses, and I can't really upgrade my hardware, so I never have to worry about installing new drivers! Plus, everybody loves me because Hollywood has me in all their movies."

PC: "Boy do I envy you. You're so ... stylish. But expensive... I don't know if my users could ever afford one of you!"

Mac: "That's true... But hey, you get what you pay for!"

Linux: "Not exactly... Hey guys."

PC & Mac: "Oh, hey Linux."

Linux: "Heard you guys talking and couldn't help but drop by. PC, hate to say it, but Microsoft has never been very secure or stable. And now, with Vista, it's not very usable either. And Mac, it's true, you're a much better system, despite your cost. Would you like to know why? It's because you're a Unix OS variant, which lends itself to usability and stability. However, most of the software for Mac is either expensive or outdated upon release... You two should consider the Linux alternative. I'm fast, efficient, stable, secure, and best of all, I'm free. I'll run on practically any hardware you've got, and I've got TONS of software that can do anything you could want, and it's all free! Truth is, Linux is arguably the best Operating System out there, and people are starting to take notice. You guys should join us!"

(Linux puts arms around PC and Mac)

Linux: "We're a community of love."

(Fade out to white, then fade in to a heart-logo with Linux on it, saying: Linux. Free Love.)

Mac: Hi. I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
Mac: We work together at a company. I do Web design...
PC: ...and I add up how much money we made last quarter.
Mac: Wait, who did we leave in charge of the ads?
*look at each other*
PC and Mac: Oh, crud...
*camera zooms down the hall to another cubicle*
Ubuntu: Let's see... Which one should I use?
*spins Compiz cube, which has an ad designed using Scribus/GIMP on each side*
*zooms back to PC/Mac*
Ubuntu: Done with the ads.
PC: Wow... Did you make these yourself?
