release the beasts!

I know it's important to get the word across about what ailments are affecting under-developed countries, but Bill Gates' tactic was a bit unnecessary. Releasing mosquitoes on a packed room will definitely get people's attention, but were they more concerned about saving themselves from bites or about the malaria hitting underdeveloped countries? Although I have to admit, the image of big-name companies being attacked by hundreds of mosquitoes is a bit comical. I wonder if Gates made a difference and got people to donate to his cause? Too bad the article didn't mention audience reaction...or how many people walked out with red bumps.
