<div dir="ltr">Oh crud, I hope you all don't think I'm cruel.  I know you're not saying that Martin, and I admit my humor can be a bit biting.  But I wasn't meaning it to be serious.  I've certainly seen worse about Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc. on YouTube.  But I wouldn't want to seriously make one.  Though most jokes hurt in some way, the concept behind my idea is an unwarranted and inaccurate comparison.    Better off leaving the political system to taking those types of jabs. -Rio <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 10:37 AM, Martin Owens <<a href="mailto:doctormo@gmail.com">doctormo@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> It sounds a little crule and may remind some people of why they hated school. Negative emotional adverts are not good, it may make them alienated. The idea I had was to get an XKCD animated people with some voice actors with one of them being suprised by their friend's use of ubuntu. Followed by the: "why doesn't everyone know about this?" "no idea, no adverts I guess" "Hey everyone! Why don't you know about this?" this would then launch into the screen, showing off various tools with each facet of compiz being a different too (properly annotated) to some upbeat music, possibly a mashup.
