After the buyout of Rare, Microsoft have now decided that they are going to buy Capcom too, and no doubt they will, due to Microsoft's overwhelming power in the games market now. But Bill Gates could easily buy out some other things by using his rather large chequebook, and where better to start it off than with a nice shop or two?! How about a large company? A car make? A sheep farm? Which would suit Bill Gates' chequebook best?

Marks & Spencer:
What better things could Bill Gates do than buy out the Kings of the High Street, Marks & Spencer? Not only could he use it as a new way of making money, but he would be able to get all his clothes made just for him, in a large variety of dark colours, such as dark blue, dark red, dark green and dark black. Then he could strut his stuff along the high streets of all the main cities in the world, parading his new and improved shirt, made especially for him. He'd look even flashier than he did before, and that is saying something!

Manchester United:
If Bill gates is looking for the money, then why not have a top class English football team playing for him? Manchester United not only reel in the money from all their sponsers, but they also finish 3rd place in the league, which would suit Bill Gates to a tee, for reasons to do with the X-Box. Buying out this top quality football team would also allow Bill Gates to kick some balls - quite literally!

Mr. T:
What a money-making idea this would be! Buying out Mr. T could be the breakthrough that Bill Gates is looking for, and having The World's Toughest Mohican-Sporting Chain-Wearer under his control would definately boost the sales of Microsoft on the whole. He'd be able to produce Mr. T games, Mr. T statues, Mr. T houses, Mr. T pubs, Mr. T bacon and Mr. T lawnmowers. Bill'd be rolling in the cash, even more so than now!

Durex:
He would get no uses out of this company, but it's still a large moneymaker.

Afghanistan:
A country in peril, and who should come to save them? None other than mighty Bill Gates. Bill could use his vast stash of money to buy out this struggling country, and put them right back on top of the economic world yet again! Bill Gates could build his own mansion in the barren lands of central Afghanistan, and witness the every day hussle-bussle of the Afghani towns unfold around him, preferrably on a large monitor, and he'd own it all, making money out of nothing! Just the thing Bill Gates could need now!

McDonalds:
When looking for a money-making company, then Bill Gates wouldn't have to look any further than McDonalds. Not only could Bill Gates get his own free Big Macs every day, but he could build a McDonalds in every square centimetre of the world, producing even more money! It's an idea he could put to greatness, and it also comes with free food, free spotty counter-workers and free Winnie The Pooh toys!

Scotrail:
Mr. Gates, being the good man that he is could put Scotrail to very good use. Not only could he gain his own free mode of transport that could take him all around the world, but he could charge more for tickets that aren't paid, take out the seats and doors and sell them to rival companies, making himself a bomb while doing it! He could even make the trains run on time, as Bill Gates loves to be on time.

Well, not doubt Bill Gates has more money making plans around, sell-outs prepared and deals made, but which one of these would be the best source of millions for Gatesy? They all give him plenty of advantages, and could make him millions.

"Choices, choices, choices..." must be the thought flowing through Bill Gates' mind at the moment, and rightly so. He really does need to make some cash soon, doesn't he.

Billy boy won't be happy until he's bought the soul of the AntiChrist.... Wait a minute! he IS the AntiChrist. Okay, next step - The Almighty Himself.

Ignore me. Funny post.
