Bill Gates 'playfully' releases mosquitoes at conference. Hilarity ensues.

Mosquitoes. In Long Beach. Gee, THANKS.

OH AND WEST NILE YOU DITZ. *grumbles*

I thought it was funny that someone grumbled how appropriate it was for the former CEO of Microsoft to release more bugs into the world. :)

Almost as funny as when Windows BSOD'd on him years ago. At COMDEX no less.

This was the least buggy thing that Bill Gates has ever released. :P

It reminds me of PETA tactics. Sure, it gets a lot of press but rarely gets taken seriously by the right people.

Still, it is pretty funny.

In before lawsuits?

Good God! I'm allergic to mosquitoes. If I were in attendance, I'd have to leave. Not to mention, since when is malaria a classist disease?

What an ass!

Btw, I had a dream about you and Jim last night.

In a hurry, mind! (Gee, reminds me of that drunk driving thing that was in Manhattan Beach I posted a while back. Maybe he should have a Grimmy standing off to one side announcing who just 'died' as well. *eyeroll*)

Oh watch PETA throw a hissy over this as well. Using innocent mosquitoes - then adding to the issue we already have with blood-borne West Nile killing all our birds (and it has...crows are just not seen anymore around here because of it) - what's a few allergic reactions on top of that?

And he then gets to go home. Thanks, Bill. REAL cute. (How DO you certify mosquitoes as 'malaria free' anyway? Spread their little legs or something?)
