Hey IT-conservative,
Suck on this!
20,000 views on youtube and growing.
Read it and weep. My comrades here in the Red Hat video department are dancing on our desks. HA!
And look out, there's more to come, and we will bury you. Good thing we have a strong welfare state and free healthcare for the indigent in our society to support you when all you proprietards (I know it doesn't have the same ring to it, we're working on it) are unemployed.

For your convenience (and to be safe, so you don't have to visit this Linux vendor-associated website), here's the video:
It's very amazing this video got "20,000 views". Here's my theory of how it happened. Mr. Dodd posted it on his freetard site and some people watched it. The responses were different. One group was like "woah, I have no clue what this is or what this is supposed to symbolize, but it's deep man!" and forwarded it to freetard friends, hoping they would be impressed by his intellect. The second group was like "WTF?" and forwarded it to their friends.
You can tell this is true by the responses.
That's brilliant! Which software did you use to create it?
i.e. I have no idea what this is about, but the drawings are cool!
I had no idea what this was about at first until I read the description..
Music's come a long way hasn't it?
i.e. I read the description and still think it's about how music evolved (as in quality, not protection).
wow... That was abstract
i.e. woah! I have no clue what this was about!
And proprietards? Really? Yeah, I would work on that before you take that public. Woops, I just did.

Well, IT conservative, you are indeed a worthy foe. Your scathing post has all but crushed my morale, and the FLOSS movement is in danger of disintigrating without me cheering them on.
Maybe you're right after all. Sigh. I'm tired of eating ramen noodles and wearing thrift store clothes.
I'm still looking for an blog-war insult that tops Freetard, but when I do you better beware.
For now propri-etard will have to do.
There will be a cartoon with your name on it.
I'd like to simplify your theory.
Some freetards dugg it, the second it hit digg, a mass swarm of webtards went and watched it. Being webtards, they couldn't understand what it meant, but felt the need to say something, so posted a lot of dumb comments. Let us take a look at a text book example of youtube comments http://xkcd.com/202/.
That's telling him, Colin. Now if proprietary-retard (oh my! tho thorree... proprietard) figures it all out maybe he might up his brain cell count a bit. Oh wait... do they get replaced?
Hey, maybe we can get Micro$oft to sue us!
