They are very popular, and It's a known scheme that works and people love it. We could get some laughs and really have fun with this idea. I don't know if there's a copyright problem with it, though. I also like the idea of a competition to create the best advert, dibs on being a judge. As an idea for funding maybe someone could contact canonical to see if they are interested.
