The "developers!" video and "monkey dance" have probably been swatched by... well, pretty much everyone in the IT industry, but this one is even less known than Steve Ballmer's Windows 1.0 ad, which was authentic (no parody intended).
That second guy is Brian Valentine, who left Microsoft after the Trouble better known as "Vista".
If the Web gets polluted or flooded by slopfarms such as these, and Slashdot then sends traffic so these slopfarms (Slashdot probably doesn't do this intentionally), then real writers with real knowledge of GNU/Linux will lose the spark for publishing
Those of us who actually want to reform the industry and put users in control of their systems/devices will recognise that "Open Source" was selling a lie or got-co-opted by liars
The commercial exploitation of users won't stop until users exercise full control over their software or - more broadly - their computing (including data)

I think it goes well with the above TV commercial as part of a Vista upgrade marketing campaign.
