I didn't criticize the fact they were having a party.  Linux people
do that all the time.  I criticized the video itself.

And there's a difference between a for-profit company making a video in
the hopes that others will party about their new for-profit release, and
people just partying for the sake of it.  I have a hard time getting
worked up about the former, but hey, to each their own.

True.  It did look like they tried pretty hard to look cool, and I don't
think they quite made it, but that's in the eye of the beholder too.
