It's true that TV commercials are expensive. But it is much more effective that promoting by speaking with people. Even in my country it has a high media approachability for most of the advertisements which are telecasted on the TV.

TV ads are too expensive for promoting of Fedora. The best way to promote F is speaking with people about all the F's features and pluses.

That was last year (2007) at Indianapolis -- there was an effort to
sponsor one of the cars that raised about $20,000, and that got Tux on
the nose and sides of the car (since the team was unsponsored going
into the race). The driver, Roberto Moreno, crashed after 30 laps or
so and finished last.

There is a definite advantage to promoting Fedora (or Linux or
whatever) through mass media channels. I disagree when Juan says that
"youtube is enough."
