This video shows Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer getting egged by an angry Hungarian student. He apparently was just starting to speak to the students when a student stood up and started exclaming “Give back the money of the taxpayers!” Apparently that was a reference to the fact that the Hungarian Government is in trouble over deals and tenders, which critics say favour Microsoft and lock out the competition. Curiously, there were no chairs in easy reach (likely a measure to protect the audience if someone mentioned the word Google). Otherwise Ballmer would surely have defended himself.
This isn’t the first time a Microsoft CEO has been attacked with food. Bill Gates got a pie in the face while in Belgium about 10 years ago.
