Actually, you're wrong. IBM has run at least two TV ad campaigns mentioning Linux.
The first was an ad that starred Avery Brooks (aka Captain Sisko of Deep Space Nine), and was purely about Linux.
The other was a very funny, widely run ad called The Heist. At the end of the ad, the announcer says, "IBM servers running Linux -- good infrastructure that can save you a bundle."
I couldn't find a link for the first ad, but you can view The Heist here:
