I've not yet watched the video, but I find it funny how Fry is helping to show awareness of GNU despite being a huge Apple fan.

Some people who don't use marihuana endorse the usage, and some people who use heroin don't endorse the usage. Some people endorse freedom of speech for racists, while not agreeing with said racism. Some people use Windows, yet despise it. And so on, and so on.
