Gates-Viva Piņata Is For Young Girls

Talking about anything else but Microsoft is bad for Bill Gates

Some probably think that Mr Bill Gates knows everything about everything, being the founder of Microsoft and the wealthiest man on the planet and all...but he doesn't. In one of his interviews concerning new genres, Gates committed the ultimate booboo in saying that Viva Piņata is something for young girls. The actual part of the interview where Gates' words don't
add up to create something as enlightening as his usual statements is: "We have a thing called Viva Piņata that's for young girls, where you're tending a garden and these animals come along..."

OK, Mr. Gates no offense but Viva Piņata can be everything but what you've just said. Is Bill Gates thinking of young girls when he's interviewed? Luckily for Billy, there is still a chance for his statement not to become a mockery target, as there is a 360 title called Viva Piņata. So, some may think he was trying to make an "indirect" reference to the game in his "deep" speech. And some may not.

We can say that Gates was a little off the point, no need to be devils about it. One thing is for sure though, his speech about the Xbox 360's new connectivity software was a fairly good one, and that's Gates' main concern, he doesn't need to know anything about any Viva Piņata or anything else for that matter.

OK, enough criticism on his clumsy speech, he is a respectable person who, in case you didn't know, will leave the biggest part of his wealth to be used in only the noblest purposes, and just a small amount of that will go to his children whom he wants to see growing up properly. No one can say that Gates is narrow-minded.
