eBay using Tux as a symbol for Internet fraud

Submitted by BradD on October 12, 2007 - 10:00am.

eBay Australia has a fraud awareness page and a related flash game, both of which feature a depiction of a fraudster as a balding, bespectacled man with Tux, the Linux mascot, prominently displayed on his shirt. The big question is: why? Why such a gratuitous smear against the Linux community? Is it something we said?
