Linux Needs a Product Placement

If Desktop Linux wants to get across The Chasm, it needs product placements in TV shows and movies. Red Hat, Novell, Ubuntu/Canonical, Linspire, OSDL and whoever feels a sense of responsibility should be pooling funds to make the media buys. Where are you all?

The shows need to be not for geeks, the characters need to be sexy. Linux needs to be shown in the normal household setting being used as a normal, if not obvious, option...in situ.

Little money needs to be spent and the intiative could start on deep cable if necessary.

When is Linux marketing going to aspire to the starting line?
