Welcome to my Bill Gates "Pie Gate" page. I will say once and for all that I think the whole incident is hysterical. I would have thought it was equally funny had it been Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Andy Grove, or anyone else. I respect Bill Gates as a businessman; however, if I were him, I would have made a joke out of it instead of being so serious.

I got some pictures and a transcript of the CBS Evening News story about Gates. There are also some links that I found as well as a parody of the "Think Different" ad series with Gates' pie-covered face.

Dan Rather: Police and security guards in Belgium were caught flat-footed today by a cowardly sneak-attack on one of the world's wealthiest men. The target was Microsoft chairman Bill Gates arriving for a meeting with community leaders. Watch what happens when a team of hit-men meet him first with a pie in the face. Gates was momentarily and understandably shaken, but he was not injured. The hit squad piled on with two more pies before one of them was wrestled to the ground and arrested. The others, at least for the moment, got away. Gates went inside, wiped his face clean, and made no comment. He then went on with his scheduled meeting. No word on the motive for this attack.
