[BadVista Advocate] An ad campaign idea

[Sunnz]

Yea I seen the Spoof made by Novell.

But IMHO they are fun at best. Macs have been the alternative for many
people, we don't really want to just throw up "yet another
alternative".

So I think we should make an ad that is something else, the white
background and the music of Mac ads should not be copied, instead,
this should be something totally different. In the first "scene",
perhaps have the parents and the kid in an ordinary house doing
ordinary stuff instead, and we might have them to wear same style of
slightly different coloured clothes and same hair style to emphasise
that there isn't much freedom under M$ aka the big brother.

As for leaving out Mac, perhaps we could still do it (if we get to do
it.) but cut it out at first... only to have the "full version" of the
vid to be included in a truly free Linux distributions like gNewsense
when people actually install it.
