My son was watching TV the other day and he shouted through to me to come and look at something.

"Isn't that the Linux penguin," he said, and sure enough, there he was, bold as brass on a Kellogs Froot Loops commercial.

I see someone else also noticed and they have been kind enough to put it up onto YouTube for all the world to see.

As the commentator says, it's not just a bit like it, it really is Tux.

Talk about product placement....

I saw that too ... Either lazy animators or Linux lovers ... Don't know which ...

I probably go for the lazy animator excuse, myself. It's surprising how quickly my son recognised it though. It is not there for very long on the advert.

We do use Linux here at home however.

@helios, unless it's an African penguin. We have those down here, and they used to call them the Jackass Penguin because they make a loud donkey noise.
