Ubuntu Videos in Toronto

[Darryl Moore]

I thought of this one this morning


Scene: All white room. Dozens and dozens of people in white lab coats,
and all looking pretty much the same, scurrying about like rats in a
maze. Camera focuses on PERSON 1 who is walking briskly through the hive
of activity. PERSON 2 approaches, attempting with some difficulty to
keep up with PERSON 1.

PERSON 1: Report

PERSON 2: We've discovered an impostor sir. 

PERSON 1: Are you sure?

PERSON 2: Yes sir, well... pretty sure. He was embedded last night. We
think the key he was given was a forgery.

PERSON 1: Send the information you have to HQ and see if they can
confirm it.

PERSON 2: Yes sir. (leaves promptly)

PERSON 3: (joins PERSON 1 on different side from which PERSON 2 left) We
have confirmation from H.Q. sir. They've positively identified the
impostor. Well, they're sure enough anyway.

PERSON 1: Right, well, so we have an impostor in our midst. Number
three, what line of action does HQ want to to proceed with?

PERSON 3: I'll enquire immediately (PERSON 3 veers away from PERSON 1
who continues at his brisk pace) 

PERSON 4: (joining PERSON 1 on the same side that PERSON 2 was on) We
have our orders from HQ regarding the impostor sir.

(For the first time PERSON 1 stops dead. PERSON 4 also stops. PERSON 1
looks at 4)

PERSON 1: Yes?

PERSON 4: (looking very grave) Eliminate him

(Camera now pans out and the view becomes fuzzy. when it refocusses we
see that it is now panning out from a computer with a person sitting at
it[husband]. Another person [wife] approaches)

wife: Were you able to reinstall my software honey?

husband: Yup. You know, I don't know what you did to mess this thing up
so bad that we needed to reinstall it. (sighs) But it's done now.

wife: Oh thank you honey. Your wonderful.

(husband backs away from computer slightly so wife can sit on his lap.
As wife sits computer makes a sparking noise and the BSOD appears. Look
of surprise and disappointment on husband and wife's face.

VOICE OVER: Who is really controlling your computer anyway? 

ANNOUNCER VOICE OVER: Ubuntu, Software for humans....
              Copy....
              share....
              enjoy....




I'll try to stop now. :-)
I think the quality is dropping a little.

cheers,
