  • inactive, on 02/15/2008, -4/+68fake fake fake. some of that just doesn't add up. like the dumb "save facebook" group. you really think he would join?? if he really wanted to save it, he would just buy it. DUH! and as a valleywag commenter noted a simple "tilt the laptop screen" reveals the 'shoppedness.
  • pearcey, on 02/15/2008, -2/+27I smell *****™... please.... come on..... as if....
  • ubergeek09, on 02/15/2008, -5/+30I wish I was on Bill Gates friend's list.

  • BigBallistix, on 02/15/2008, -4/+22Yeah, it's unbelievable a girl as smoking hot as the one in the 'HOTorNOT' caption would associate herself with him.
  • boonecafe, on 02/15/2008, -4/+20buried - spam

  • gvsurunner22, on 02/15/2008, -1/+10I like how he spelled the Beatles "beattles" haha poor bill IE doesn't have a in browser spell check...
  • exomni, on 02/15/2008, -1/+9Is that supposed to be "Battles" or "The Beatles" in his Music? Or does he like listening to both at the same time? Hey... that would be cool.

    And "Heminway" in his books? Err...

    "Apocolypse Now"?

    "Deerhunter"?
  • prabjot, on 02/15/2008, -0/+7and as if he would reveal his work email ID to the world "billg@microsoft.com" LMFAO
  • ChristBehemoth, on 02/15/2008, -1/+8This is not the real deal. Buried.
  • oodledoodle, on 02/15/2008, -2/+8because no smoking hot girls would ever be interested in one of the worlds richest men. i mean, what would a billionaire possibly have to offer them?
  • PleaseJustDie, on 02/15/2008, -1/+6Anyone else hoping that one of his favorite movies would be Pirates of Silicon Valley?
  • yojiffyskippy, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Yet, you cared enough to add a comment. Amazing.
  • roomforpanic, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4So is the cooking and the laundry.
  • realjames, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Favorite Movie: Tron
  • fearlessfx, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4The reflections are all wrong too.
  • codered1322, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4He probably just uses it so he can network his way higher up in the company.
  • clbw, on 02/15/2008, -0/+4Wow. I just wasted five minutes looking at this *****.
  • dood, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3"I didn't become rich by writing a lot of checks!"
  • matthewdestroys, on 02/15/2008, -3/+6of course he watches FOX.
  • themarq, on 02/15/2008, -1/+4I love that Bill is getting Facebook spam-- "They are trying to shutdown FaceBook, forward this to everyone on your friend's list to sign the petition."
    Given the amount of spam fwded in his name promising a cheque from MicroSoft so they could test their new "email tracker."

    The ironing is delicious.
  • shinigami052, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3He kinda did...

  • jamesmudgett, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3He stopped using it, oh, that would explain.... just getting a little anxious is all, I mean its only been like 3 weeks since i sent the request.
  • mstump, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3All Heminway? Rolling stone? Thanks for trying.
  • santaliqueur, on 02/15/2008, -0/+3He contributes to both Republican and Democrat causes.

  • kamikaze87, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2How the ***** is the front page? I highly doubt Bill Gates would join a group called "THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN FACEBOOK - PETITION TO KEEP IT! INVITE ALL!"

    Next on the front page: A scantily clad woman on MySpace wants to ***** your brains out, but you have to check out her webcam for $39.99 first!
  • acatzr800, on 02/15/2008, -1/+3This is so fake.. i mean.. hot or not? are you kidding me? I'd be less suprised to see "African AIDS orphan or not"
  • santaliqueur, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Also, he loves "Rolling stone". I don't need to look for Photoshop clues to tell me this is a clear fake. The bad grammar and spelling gives it away without looking for more.
  • dunderballer, on 02/15/2008, -1/+3I don't get why people obsess about the personal lives of people they don't know personally. I have a lot of admiration for his accomplishments, ambition, and philanthropy, but I don't really give an damn about who his Facebook friends are or what his personal comments were.
  • heavystone, on 02/15/2008, -1/+3God I HATE Facebook
  • TomKarpik, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2No, the "ironing" is most likely very painful if you try to taste it.

    The irony, on the other hand, is vague.
  • c0ldfusi0n, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2I'm surprised 'Antitrust' isn't in his favorite movies.
  • seandaly, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2SHOPPED!
  • synyster, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2wow! you can actually delete your facebook account.
  • 4LeggedtriPod, on 02/15/2008, -1/+3I'm calling obvious BS.
  • Gravey9, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2it does exist!

  • notjamt9000, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Well the email address is real, I added it to my gmail contacts and did the facebook find friends thing and it shows it's valid:

  • moletimer, on 02/15/2008, -0/+2Irrelevant much?
  • kweli, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1GO TORONTO....he has 5 Toronto friends!
  • BigBallistix, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1Dude, get with the times. Billionaires are commonplace nowadays, even I know one.
  • Hmoobgolian, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Who's is that sexy girl on his facebook? She's a hottie....
  • happytedium, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Favourite Movies: "Deerhunter" LOLZ. I doubt this.
  • atbnet, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1This is fake for sure. I've come across a lot of Facebook profiles of football players at my school which are actually made by someone else. And this was before Facebook opened up registration to everyone.
  • LightSpeed4, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1noo, he owns 1% of facebook
  • Books, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1Pink on his favorite music? I'm a Bill Gates fan now.
  • Hindu_Wardrobe, on 02/18/2008, -0/+1I dunno, I thought his email was at executives.microsoft.com or something.
