Video - Steve Ballmer gets egged in Hungary

Excerpt -

Speaking at the Hungarian University of Economy today, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got egg on his face and not in the figurative sense. Hungary's government spends millions on licenses to use Microsoft software at its universities and this market lockdown is apparently so upsetting to some Hungarians — how will they ever learn to use Linux? — that during today's speech, one attendee stood-up, yelled at Ballmer: "Give back the money of the taxpayers!" and then started chucking eggs. We disapprove, but only because we know Ballmer prefers bananas. A nice banana-cream pie-ing would have made a European matched-pair with the earlier prank on Bill Gates. Watch the egging in a clip embedded below.

"The peasants are revolting! "

To which Ballmer would reply, "Yes, very revolting."

uh hunh...pretty weird...the guy looked like he was going to burst out laughing the entire time.

"when lonely geeks go wild...sort of"

Having said that, Balmer needs to fire his entire exec escort crew.

The girly-man throws like a sissy. Even more embarrassing, Ballmer ducks behind the podium like he was taking sniper fire or something.
