Well I am on my way to buy a powerball ticket, if I hit the big prize I 
will have the money sometime next week after a ride to the state capital 
to claim the prize :-)

The point that I am trying to make is that best way to get a lot of 
attention for ubuntu for a minimum amount of money is to run a contest 
with a large enough cash prize to get a level of media attention that 
can't be bought at any price.  Obviously you would need to seek 
corporate sponsorship, for example right now General Electric is running 
contest for ideas  on how to generate cleaner power, they are putting up 
$200 million dollars in grant money.

One of the nice things about "viral videos" is that you can take the 
money that you would spend on air time and put it into the production of 
the video. In this case you would put up prize money as way of funding 
production. I think the Linux Foundation did something similar not that 
long ago.
