I could have sworn I saw a Linux commercial.

I believe that was the Muhammad Ali "Shake up the world" commercial which had me laughing my butt off.

Mrs. Theknow asked me why I thought it was so funny and I explained Ali's affliction and she said somebody at the ad agency should be fired for the commercial.

I wonder if someone didn't suggest it as a tongue in cheek joke in an advertising meeting, and nobody else caught onto it and it made it on the air much to that person's amazement.

I believe that IBM's Open Source commercial was on local affiliates only.

I was shocked that there was a 'Truth' commercial -- Isn't that an issue ad?
