I see this is yet another "dumb blondes" have no business touching Linux 
joke. As the FAQ I posted before points out, these jokes are really sexist
jokes in disguise. "Tinkerbell Linux" is not the first time that somebody
went there.

Does anyone recall Barbie OS?

How about the folks who pasted images of tux on suggestive images of 
women?

So... Let's talk about the dumb celebrity factor. Is anyone making mocking 
rumors about some blonde famous man making his own distro?

Hey, I heard that Justin Timberlake is getting ready to ship his own Linux 
distro: it's called "sync;sync;sync"


Take care,
