The Eminem Looking Blond Kid in the IBM/Linux Commercials

Has anyone seen these ads? You can see some here if you want: http://www-306.ibm.com/e-business/doc/content/ondemand/tvspot.html but by the looks of it, little Eminem (AKA Linux) does have a “Gift“, he can “Open“ his mouth big enough to put a full bar of soap in it - Perhaps he started asking to many questions about IBM/Linux?

  1. “Why does Windows Staffing cost far less than Linux“
  2. “Why does Microsoft Windows 2003 cost far less to operate than Linux Mainframe?“
  3. “Why does it cost more for Application Software and Ongoing Support with Linux?“
  4. “What do you think about the .NET Development Platform costing 25% less than J2EE/Linux for development and support?“
  5. “Why is it so much easier to deploy applications on Windows?“
  6. “When are you going to have a web server that can come close to competing with Windows IIS 6.0“
  7. “Why do files open faster on Windows 2003 than on Red Hat Linux Server 2.1 and 8.0 Professional?“

IBM should really research what their actors did in their life before “Open”!
