A short news clip of Bill Gates being hit with a pie in the face in Belgium around 1999.

HN mentions it as evidence of how disliked Gates was in the 1990s, usually in passing or as a joke.

Gates was so hated during the early growth days of Microsoft, that he literally got pied in the face. ▶ this video

About a year after being pied in the face he launched the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Maybe we should bring back pieing, haha ▶ this video

He used to be reviled enough during the 1990s to receive literal pies in the face. [0] He has done some good of course, but some people tend to see anyone "giving away money" == faultless saint. [0] ▶ this video
