yea yea.. do you not think if Bill Gates was shot that every frickin media service in the world would know before he hit the ground? Especially 12 days after the event.

A spoof although somewhat scary.

A spoof you say ? Ahh.

Well duh. Of course it's a fu(kin' spoof.
Albeit a rather elaborate undertaking to publicise a new movie via the web (a'la Blair witch)

"On December 2, 1999, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates was killed in MacArthur Park while making an appearance there as part of a *charity* event."

ooooh, a sci-fi/fantasy flick! Must see this to practise my suspension of disbelief!

It's all about.....

An independent film that follows a conspiracy surrounding the fictional death
of Bill Gates is scheduled to appear on the festival circuit early next year.

MacArthur Park, a new feature-length independent documentary, examines
the questions about the Gates 'assassination' and chronicles a year of
campaigning by Citizens for Truth, a fictional grassroots group who refuse to
believe the official investigation.

The premise of the documentary, said to be a cross between Kevin Costner
vehicle JFK and The Blair Witch Project, is that Gates was shot dead in Los
Angeles on 2 December 1999 while attending a charity event.

In a parallel with the JFK assassination, he was shot from the roof of the Park
Plaza hotel, across the street from MacArthur Park. According to the official
version of events, the 'assassin' - Alek Hidell - fled and killed a police officer
before himself was killed by an LAPD marksman.

Hidell was a political radical who wanted to starts a class war by killing the
world's richest man, the official report concludes.

Distrust of the Los Angeles Police Department and its investigation of "the last
great crime of the 20th Century" leads to doubt about the lone-gunman theory
and the formation of Citizens for Truth.

The team behind the The Blair Witch Project, Haxan Films, is advising
Director Brian Flemming about how to develop the film and its Web site,
macarthurpark.com

The idea is to use the site to evolve the films storyline and to create a buzz
around the story in much the same way as happened with the low-budget
horror movie.

The producers of the story, GMD Studios, also plan to use the site
billgatesisdead.com (which incidentally runs on Linux) as a forum for people to
kick around alternative theories about the investigation

The usual suspect likely to feature in the fictional conspiracy plots there are
likely to include Apple, Netscape, Java fans, Linux enthusiasts and, inevitably,
the US Department of Justice. Oracle chief Larry Ellison, who not so long ago
was himself rumoured to be dead, is sure to figure somewhere too.

Not only can he pirate gam3z and support multimedia (?), he is also l33t mast3r of copy/paste. A fantastic boon for all those boards users who can't follow a hyperlink.

Superb.
