Duck, Boss!!



Microsoft CEO Steve Ballamer hid behind a desk, as a man was throwing eggs at him. He was addressing the audience at a university in Hungary. As he asks the group about their final exams, this guy stands up and began asking Ballmer about a deal between Microsoft and the Hungarian government that he claimed is costing Hungarian taxpayers.

The man, then, begins to throw an egg at Ballmer. The crowd laughs, at first, at the spectacle of Ballmer hiding behind a desk. For some reason, once he began throwing the final two volleys, people got upset and started yelling at the man.

One would hope Ballmer would have better security. I wonder why no one was there to get him out of there immediately. It might be time to review Microsoft's executive protection program.
