linux commercials?

ive seen commercials for apple and of course m$ but not for any distros of linux. how realistic does everyone think it is to have some?  or do you think the bigger distros are waiting for more desktop freindly features to be adapted?

It'll be quite a day when a new release of a linux distro gets as much attention as a new Windows.
