Actually, a couple of years back Novell did some parodies of the PC/Mac
commercials. "Linux" was a really cute chick. I have copies of them and
I'll be happy to upload them if I can find a good place to put them
(maybe I can grab one of those free-hosting websites if I can find one
that will take large files, there are 3 MPG's and they run 7-9M each).
Or if someone has a good place for them, let me know and I'll upload them.

If you've been alive and aware of mass media over the last twelve
months, you've probably seen television commercials from Apple and
Microsoft touting their operating system. From Apple's ubiquitous "I'm a
Mac" to Jerry Seinfeld to Microsoft's "I'm a PC" retort, operating
system commercials have been flooding the airways. Except one OS has
been notably absent – Linux.
While the Linux Foundation would love to spend millions promoting Linux
on TV, it's simply not our style (or in our budget). Even more
importantly, Linux isn't a top-down, commercially controlled operating
system. It's a grassroots product of mass collaboration. That's why
we're sponsoring a community contest to create a Linux video that
showcases just what Linux means to those who use it, and hopefully
inspires many to try it.
The winner will receive a free trip to Tokyo, Japan to participate in
the Linux Foundation Japan Linux Symposium in October 2009. The winning
video will also be unveiled at the Linux Foundation's Collaboration
Summit in San Francisco on April 8, 2009.
