Advertising uses slogans and symbols in a deliberately vague way that is irritating, so it pleases some people to strike back against it by filling in blanks with unintended messages; I thought the van/candy message was very funny!
Actually the point of the message playing was to let you know fsck had completed. When you boot to flash it will fsck (filesystem check for errors and fix them on all ext2 partitions) then it will play Linus when complete. This was so if you were running from SD and crashed, you could boot to flash to fsck, when wav plays you know its complete and you can reboot back to SD. You can also see the output of the fsck in /tmp/fsck.txt
FYI
