I hadn't seen this one before. I actually thought it was a spoof but it's definitely him.

How someone that moronic makes billions backing a company like Microsoft is beyond me.

    Lol, that is a good one.



    He is the only one that is brainwashed enough to be that enthusiastic about a failing product which is why he holds the position he does.



    Applicant: And how much is the pay?

    Employer: Oh... about a billion a year.

    Applicant: And what are my duties?

    Employer: You have to support Microsoft in everything we do, be excited about it, and act like Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker all the time.

    Applicant: No thanks.

    This is a joke, it was shown at an internal Microsoft meeting. Supposedly a tradition at MS, more recently they did a Matrix parody starring billg and steveb.

    Now I know that, I still have the same opinion.



    Here's part of the Matrix one:

    I have to say the bit with the Linux shot is pretty good. But Gates has such a weedy nerd voice he just sounds stupid as Morpheus. He reminds me of the acne teenager from the Simpsons.

    I wouldn't mind it if Apple's brass were more engaging, but I guess that's part of the Steve-J's marketing strategy: convince mac people that you're God.



    Anyway, Microsoft has to keep a large pool of non-associated enterprise developers in order to stay alive, so this kind of nerdy role-playing, I'm sure, is right on the mark.

    God wouldn't do that kind of thing.

    Totally. Bill G is now way more mellow and I am very happy he is exiting Micro$uck. ... We need a new poster boy for hating and general disgust. Luckily, Ballmer came along at the right moment. That tongue. Jeeez...

    Yeah... it's pretty hard to hate someone who is donating $$$$$$$$$ to good causes. Oh the burdens we apple-lovers face.

    Anybody else easily see Ballmer as the monster in Young Frankenstein's "Puttin' on the Ritz" routine?

    I'm thinking more along the lines of 'The Addams Family'
