As Big as Microsoft: Ribbing Gates nytimes.com

Oh dear. The august NYT picks up on the oft noted phenomenon. They slip up a little on this one, missing the canonical list of anti-msft web sites that CNET usually includes in its stories.

Shortly after Gates was ambushed last month in Brussels by five men throwing cream pies at him, for instance, a simple computer game called "Pie Bill Gates" began circulating as an attachment to e-mail messages.

I got that email from my brother. The one who isn't a machead.

In another point-and-click game, this one on the Internet, computer users are invited to replace Gates's corporate casual attire, a blazer and khakis, with something "more appropriate for a minor deity."

Minor deity? What slander! We all know Bill's A-#1. A major deity if there ever was one. Blasphemy! Send in the lawyers! If Microsoft could go after the t-shirt guy, they should go after these people too.

Cheers, Dan.
