I think Gates and Jobs are neck and neck for the whipping boy title, though I'll admit that Gate is in the lead.
I once saw a flash cartoon (that I can't for the life of me find any more) that shows a secret agent type guy kidnapping gates and speeding him away to a remote island. He then ties Gates to a chair under a hot light in an otherwise dark room. He slaps him around a bit (if memory serves), and then steps back and unloads on him with a hail of machine gun fire. Gates pees his pants, but is untouched by any of the bullets. The shot pulls back to show that the gunman wrote: LINUX in the wall behind him with the bullets! Man it was funny! Anybody else ever seen that?
