[BadVista Advocate] An ad campaign idea

[Sunnz]

You all at least heard about the Get a Mac ad campaign from Apple right?

Video works quite well at presenting information, (whether if they
holds truth is another story.), and IMHO there is a lack of free
software video. All the current free software activities are good per
se, but the general public needs to know what we are talking about,
and lots of them may not have the time, or lack of attention span to
read through the stuff on badvista.

So, here's my idea for an ad video, just very briefly:

=======================================
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary family, they first seem to be
doing to ordinary stuff, the son goes to school everyday, their
parents work at day.

One day, Big Brother(M$) steps in, and goes out of his way to command
how the family should work, makes the craziest decisions one can
imagine and gets paid by the family for doing it. The family doesn't
like it, but yet relies on it, and simply have to obey everything BB
says.

Later on, when the kid in the family reach his teens, he met a
beautiful girl (Mac), and starts to rebel against the Big Brother, and
the parents was relieved from having to take orders from Big Brother
and are happy. The down side is, the girl demands a lot of the family
as well, although not just precisely dictating how everything should
work, she caused the boy into an unhealthy state.

Finally, they met a wisdom old man (GNU), and was free from all the
restrictive things, and was free forever.
=======================================

Like I said, just a very brief idea... but if you think it has
potential, feel free to add details, tweak it, play around with it....

i think it would be beneficial if some kind of video can
metaphorically explain to the general public, and these days with the
high bandwidth internet and stream video, it isn't so hard to
distribute the video, especially if it is creative and entertaining,
and lots of people has done it like Apple, Sun Microsystems, and even
Google, so yea.
