BBC News, Bill Clinton, and an Ubuntu thong
So I am perusing the “Latest Headlines” RSS feed in Firefox this morning and notice the word ubuntu. It turns out Bill Clinton used it as a key term in a recent speech to the Labour party conference. The article goes on to discuss the increasing ubiquity of the word’s usage, including the mention of Ubuntu the operating system at the end of the article. And apart from a picture of Clinton at the top of the article, the only other image is of an Ubuntu thong like the ones you can buy off of Cafépress.com. Of all the choices, why pick an Ubuntu thong? One person suggested to me that Clinton and a thong was a natural fit. 8^)
Hey, ya gotta make it sexy. Ubuntu as as philosophy or as a software has no sex appeal. Hence, the thong.

Makes you wonder what those Debian people printing “F@#k Ubuntu” t-shirts wanted to say.

The word UBUNTU synthesizes many important ideas in perennial philosophy in a single word.
