Description
There are some ideas about making TV commercial.
I'm just add some of my ideas how this commercial should look.
==============================================================
1) Make commercial from the video of Nelson Mandela explaining what ubuntu philosophy means. The video is included on live CD of Ubuntu.
there is great chance that this was already done.
2) Simple commercial where the "circle of humanity" would change from real human circle to Ubuntu logo. And on the end it would say Ubuntu: Linux for human beings
I decided to remove udea no. 3, because it really was a bad idea...
And I think that ideas 1 and 2 are quite good...
Idea no. 3 can be seen under comments...

You have no idea about marketing, do you? :)

If there is a commercial it should be about practical features and advantages.
People are very interested in philosophies and ethics, but most find it bizarre if they show up in the context of computer operating systems.

No! There should be a barely visible ubuntu logo in a corner while there should be 2 or more hot lesbians making out.
Seriously I think canonical shouldn't waste money marketing. Just keep improving the product and people will tell their friends about it.

As edit says; here is the third idea:
3) Something similar to Mac / Novell ad. But not so bluntly biased. Say what's good in Ubuntu just don't try to deny that all of other OS could do this also. Like in some of Mac ads where they try to convince that Windows can't present pictures taken on holiday...
Like in Novell ad Linux / Ubuntu should be represented by girl (preferably hot). And the ability of multiple desktop manager (Gnome , KDE, XFce) should be presented in ads.
example: for Gnome the girl that would represent ubuntu should look like a quiet librarian (as Gnome that is very easy to use and simple, but can be changed in a real "mean" desktop with compiz)
For KDE a bit more ubuntu girl should be wearing more of flashy clothes and have more make-up...(KDE is more flashy desktop with more added possibilities...)
For XFce ubuntu girl should be wearing more sport clothes and be very energetic...
============================================================
And I know that this one is a bit stupid, sexistic and maybe not in sync with ubuntu philosophy, but it would have the most impact...
