Gaudy and pretentious. You could hardly call this a commercial, seeing as you can watch the entire three and a half minutes and not have the slightest clue what Linux is.

The idea behind it is good, but all the fluff of pretty pictures needs to be cut. Really the point can be made with a shorter ad. But right track and thinking.

It's not exactly the point I would convey to a non-Linux user, but still quite moving. I was expecting it to be the video included with Elive. That one is much more to the point of Linux, but still not quite there.

What's up with that "damn stupid american get a life" comment? Was it sarcasm?

I liked it. I thought it was really creative, and inspiring.
My only beef with it is that it doesn't really tell about what Linux is. At all.

Chill out, n3tfury. Next time you could try noticing where people are from before going all McClane on them. I hope your Greek is as good as his English. Sheesh...

As for the video, I liked it; there are a few from IBM also.

The 1st ad... too long but I like the idea. 2nd ad, Apple Spoof, the personalities of the characters was off quite a bit but again it wasn't all bad. :)

Dammit, that commercial was so boring and unappealing. I bet it was slapped together using Kino.

Linux commercials should be more like this:

OK OK, I'm exaggerating but I'm seriously not feelin the Red Hat commercial.

I like this one. Shows linux in action, rather then creepy Bill Gates pictures.

I liked the IBM linux commercials from a few years ago. I think the first one I saw was during the superbowl actually...

I also liked the ad. I only wish they used a Linux logo instead of the RedHat one.

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxMWDpRCmU) another one; this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwEWxpOWOok) features Avery Brooks. This one's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO9ZWDaLLxA) probably my favorite.

Flashback!!!... I remember that now. I had no idea what they were talking about at the time. Heck, I was still running Win98.

Oh yeah and, that was played during the Superbowl alright, the year the Baltimore Ravens went and won the Superbowl, Hon!
