EBay Sez: Linux is for scammers

Posted: Thu, 11 October 2007 | permalink | No comments

In what I can only assume is a case of "graphic design spec gone horribly wrong", EBay has decided to portray our lovable penguin friend as the mascot of the online scam artist:

Linux is for scammers, says EBay (Click on the image for a full-size version)

Personally, I think the scam artists' best friend is a Windows machine, as it provides a rich source of untraceable connectivity, but my guess is that Microsoft has scarier lawyers.

I don't know how long the image has been up there for, but I'd imagine it won't last long. Linux users may not be that numerous, but we're a noisy lot. <grin>
