Why Linux will never get consumer market share

From the “Open Source Boob Project:”

“At Penguicon, we had buttons to give away. There were two small buttons, one for each camp: A green button that said, “YES, you may” and a red button that said “NO, you may not.” And anyone who had those buttons on, whether you knew them or not, was someone you could approach and ask:

‘Excuse me, but may I touch your breasts?’”

The Open Source Boob Project [TheFerett via Qt3]

P.S. Don’t miss the clarification.

   “approach and ask”???

   why not just skip the “ask”?
   now that would be a con to remember!

   Ok i am confused, so forgive me for being ignorant but i have to ask. What does this have to do with Linux? From what i can gather the events took place at Linux conventions, is that right? So the title of this article is implying that because most people wouldn’t be ok participating in the “open-boob project” they also would not understand/like Linux.

   Wow, reading some of the later comments in the Lifejournal is really, really depressing. Like, everything that’s wrong with the internet, compressed into a 1000+ posts.

   And it tanked an IMO very interesting idea, what a shame.
