Next Up He Should Hijack The Private Jet To Davos And Take It To Malawi
This is actually a cool move by Bill Gates:
In what is probably the coolest conference-talk attention grab I've ever heard of, Bill Gates apparently just released a swarm of mosquitoes into the crowd at TED, the geniuses-only mind meld. Holy shit.
"Not only poor people should experience this," the Tweetosphere has Gates saying as he released the swarm into the audience. Malaria is a cause that Bill and Melinda have been hitting hard with their philanthropy, and this is certainly a way to drive that point home.
Take away their box lunch too. Turn TED into an episode of 30 Days!
The amount of money in that room could pay for mosquito netting for the entire continent of Africa. They should have it in their faces more.
