Hmm, I find it interesting that you get a 404 page from IBM if you
enter the URL given at the end of that ad.  http://ibm.com/open

Especially interesting when they could have just re-directed it to
http://www-03.ibm.com/linux/

I guess they didn't consider You Tube in their marketing plan for that
ad campaign.  "The ads stop playing in major media markets on date X,
so we can remote the supporting Web site on date Y."
