Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer egged during a speech at a Hungarian University. Throwing eggs as a means of protest


Steve Ballme, Microsoft CEO, was egged by a protester during a speech he gave at a Hungarian University. When Ballme asked if anybody in the room has a question, the protester stood up, accused Microsoft for stealing billions in Hungarian taxpayer money, and demandaed they give them back. Then he started throwing eggs at Ballmer, who chose to take cover behind a desk. cnet

Utter disrespect. I don't see why youth see this kind of action as 'cool' or 'revolutionary'. Stupid brats.

Microsoft stole billions in Hungarian taxpayer money?  Seems unlikely, although you have to appreciate anyone who feels that they're ripped off when they buy products as flaky as Microsoft's main offerings -- Windows and MS Office.

Fun, althought the man throwing had a violent demeanor which isn't as much fun. When throwing eggs or cream pies at people, keep a smile on your face.
