I think that's a great idea, which reminded me of a few Mac vs PC spoofs that Novell did with GNU/Linux added into the mix. Here they are for those of you who haven't seen them [warning, flash required]:<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDc9I3z7ab4&mode=related&search=">

You all at least heard about the Get a Mac ad campaign from Apple right?<br><br>Video works quite well at presenting information, (whether if they<br>holds truth is another story.), and IMHO there is a lack of free<br>software video. All the current free software activities are good per
<br>se, but the general public needs to know what we are talking about,<br>and lots of them may not have the time, or lack of attention span to<br>read through the stuff on badvista.<br><br>So, here's my idea for an ad video, just very briefly:
<br><br>=======================================<br>Once upon a time, there was an ordinary family, they first seem to be<br>doing to ordinary stuff, the son goes to school everyday, their<br>parents work at day.<br><br>One day, Big Brother(M$) steps in, and goes out of his way to command
<br>how the family should work, makes the craziest decisions one can<br>imagine and gets paid by the family for doing it. The family doesn't<br>like it, but yet relies on it, and simply have to obey everything BB<br>says.
<br><br>Later on, when the kid in the family reach his teens, he met a<br>beautiful girl (Mac), and starts to rebel against the Big Brother, and<br>the parents was relieved from having to take orders from Big Brother<br>and are happy. The down side is, the girl demands a lot of the family
<br>as well, although not just precisely dictating how everything should<br>work, she caused the boy into an unhealthy state.<br><br>Finally, they met a wisdom old man (GNU), and was free from all the<br>restrictive things, and was free forever.
<br>=======================================<br><br>Like I said, just a very brief idea... but if you think it has<br>potential, feel free to add details, tweak it, play around with it....<br><br>i think it would be beneficial if some kind of video can
<br>metaphorically explain to the general public, and these days with the<br>high bandwidth internet and stream video, it isn't so hard to<br>distribute the video, especially if it is creative and entertaining,<br>and lots of people has done it like Apple, Sun Microsystems, and even
<br>Google, so yea.<br><br>--<br>Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.<br>See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html</a><br>
