images/news/microsoft.jpgMicrosoft CEO Steve Ballmer was forced to take cover behind a lectern Monday during an address at Corvinus University of Budapest after a student began shouting and tossing eggs.
Ballmer was not hit, but the attack was caught on video by one attendee.
After dodging the eggs, Ballmer shrugs, smiles and quips, "It was a friendly disruption" and the auditorium breaks into laughter. Ballmer then rubs his chin and says, "That broke my train of thought."
The attacker, wearing a shirt with "Microsoft = Corruption" written on the back in big block letters, stood at his seat just seconds after Ballmer opened his talk. The verbal assault on the Microsoft chief lasts about 10 seconds.
Despite the attacker mostly speaking in Hungarian, at one point he begins talking in English and is heard to say: "...to the Hungarian people, give that money back, right now."
He then tosses an egg at Ballmer as the executive moves to crouch behind a lectern. The attacker then reaches into his pocket for something else, which turns out to be two more eggs.
