- BobOrleans, on 10/12/2007, -11/+82Get this guy a job at the NY times.
- UnglueD, on 10/12/2007, -3/+54Guess the reporter wasn't verified through Windows Genuine Advantage
- phpirate, on 10/12/2007, -6/+57Me: Bill, would you like to give me some of your money?
Bill: Why yes I would. You are awesome.
Me: Kickass! - ArcusOfSV, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39I knew from the beginning it was fake. Bill Gates fly commerical airline?? ROFL
- jsd8cc, on 10/12/2007, -11/+43I don't know why the previous poster is being dugg down...he's refering to Jayson Blair.
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/11/national/11PAPE.html?ex=1367985600&en=d6f511319c259463&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND - raz3000, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32lol just by the content of this "interview" you could tell its fake...Apparently Gates likes to make "$1 bets with his wife"...What? Why would ANYONE do that?
- jsd8cc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26- So, Dustin, it's been a while. I gotta say, you look great.
* Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Tucker?
- I am not tying to seduce you, Dustin Hoffman. You really look great.
* Uh oh, 12 minutes to Wapner.
- Yes, I understand your hectic schedule. Well, Dustin, we really appreciate you taking the time to be with us here at the studio. If there's anything I can ever do for you...
* Bring me Peter Pan!
- I'll keep my eye out for him. Thanks, Dustin. - therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20what do you expect from a tabloid...the truth?
- staticneuron, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24"If a comment, like a joke, needs further explanation it is either poorly written or not funny."
Alot of jokes are based on current events. Sometimes alot of people may not see the revelance because they aren't scouring the news all of the time. His joke didn't seem funny to me until I saw that link. Somehow if he had provided the link himself it would have been less funny. - jchasefinch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10the word "tabloid" has to be some sort of a clue here.
- Kazrog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8With snakes on them!!!
- taylorhayward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8“It seemed suspicious when the reporter also submitted the article, ‘Me and Ghengis Kahn, a day at the Beach’”
- headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8It's a "gentleman's bet". The point is not the money, it's in being right. When you have as much money as BG, why would you bet for money? You laugh, as if people don't really make bets like that. They do.
- MikeCerm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Because I'm always right, and she's always wrong!
- marnaq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Slow news day in norway I guess.
- pu-z, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Actually, the interview was bought by a Norwegian men's magazine (www.mann.no) and a Swedish tabloid (www.aftonbladet.se).
- nahsrocketeer75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Gates was miffed about being outed for flying commercial while Sergey, Larry and Eric are getting so much ink over their private 767. ... Either that or the reporter didn't figure anyone would buy a seat-mate interview with the actual God.
- Novagenesis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Sounds real and like some things that were 'said' were potentially problematic...
Ween someone fakes an interview with one of the most powerful and richest men alive, it comes out and quickly... - bobsil1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually, he does all the time. I've seen him.
- dodoporridge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Someone from Ween faked the interview?!! And I always thought they had integrity.
- DanAtkinson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kinda like Stephen Glass, don't you think?
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4...and Digg.
- incubuz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wonder if any part of the interview was about the "security" that Microsoft fabricates.
- fohlin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3True, Aftonbladet is actually notorious for publishing inacurate and generally questionable articles.
- Kazrog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's interesting that Bill Gates himself hasn't officially confirmed or denied the authenticity of this interview.
- arnaudh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Jason Blair and Stephen Glass, anyone?
- xavihax0r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4obviously the $1 bet thing was from "Trading Places" where the Dukes liked to bet for $1.
Maybe the movie isn't popular in Norway so he thought he could get away with it - JinkyHinge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's in the details..
- MikeCerm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Stephen Glass at least set up a fake websites and voicemails to support evade the fact-checkers of the "Shattered Glass" story. This guy evaded the fact-checkers by working for a tabloid.
- Phlag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't understand what this guy thought was gonna happen. Either no one reads your article (or doesn't remember reading it) and you are still considered a mediocre journalist, or it gains popularity for a very short while until someone figures out that you made it all up.
The same goes for any journalist who fabricates entire stories. - jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1heh, how lame
- JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess there is a certain similarity between guys who write about things that never took place, as if they did - and guys who write about certain products that will never exist, as if they would.
Either way, the stuff is fantasy. - JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So, the whole interview was just "vaporware" ?
Hmmmm.... - da233, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Maybe because he doesn't know about it?
- JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Look at how much Bill Gates makes per minute. It is not worth his time. Others have already refuted the article.
It is not worth the expense or bother. - thenativeraver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If I was the richest man in the world I would have a couple planes of my own.
- SurePete, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Misleading title.
the article does not proove that the interview was indeed fake. it only sais that microsoft sais it was fake. - d3m3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Doesn't Conan Obrian do this every night?
- WheresTheBeef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interviewer: Ja, William, what do you do with your vast fortune?
Bill: I have a solid gold toilet - kickarse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1lol... Good movie btw...
- szelij, on 10/12/2007, -11/+10It could be that the missus got angry with him for revealing his $1 bets...
- nopstar, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Swedish tabloid daily = enough said
- arnaudh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I don't think one Jason Blair and one Judith Miller can blow the credibility of a newspaper just by themselves. Fox News transgresses basics of journalism on a daily basis, but they're not getting nearly as much ***** as the NY Times got for one liar and one lousy reporter.
- TheGrandGeneral, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"Guess the reporter wasn't verified through Windows Genuine Advantage"
haha.....nice one. - lancefisher, on 10/12/2007, -10/+8Why is everyone modding Odiwan down?
- lancefisher, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5Hey who's modding me down? Odiwan?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2stupid
- Elektriq, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2That's some sad sad *****...
- miles01110, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5Why would anyone want to fake an interview with Gates? Steve Jobs is far more interesting ....
- pbaehr, on 10/12/2007, -26/+19@Odiwan: Agreed. This system is self-correcting. Even if a handful of people don't get a joke or see the relevancy of a comment, if it's a good comment the larger portion of the community will balance it out.
If a comment, like a joke, needs further explanation it is either poorly written or not funny. -
