I get a bit tired of all the MS and Apple ads on TV all the time and often wonder what they'd be like as linux ads. This is just one idea.

06/27/2006 - Changed to Torvalds, Colored box black, and got rid of text as per suggestions. I also did some research and found that, for the most part, parodys are protected by the First Amendment under "fair use".

Also, should we be worried about the Apple copyright on this work. The last thing KDE needs is for Apple to shut us down.

The blur was to try to show motion. I had a hard time with it because I couldn't do anything about the motion of PC guy's arm's so I figured anything in motion should have the blur. I have a version without the blur and I think what I'll do is blur the OSS users legs only keeping his upper body, the box, and Stallman (or whomever) in focus.
Great idea about the black box!!! I will definatly do that.
Comments on copyright? I'll do some research to try to find out what the law is about using stills from a advert.
Thanks for the comment. Sorry for the length of my reply.

The text is really an afterthought, not sure the final version will have it. I think the picture is enough of a statement on it's own (assuming people recognize Richard Stallman).
