Wasn't Australia just in the news that they'll begin blocking certain content?
Anyway, I do like the idea of doing a similar thing as the "I'm a PC" commercial with some developers in there and a more realistic variety of people than the Windows actors. Perhaps groups and individuals saying stuff like "Ubuntu is ours" "Ubuntu is mine" "Ubuntu can be yours" and Mark can say "Ubuntu IS yours, download it now". Keep those creative juices flowing folks.
