What exactly that egg thrower said to Ballmer

Posted by andrewdonoghue

You have probably already seen the video of Steve Ballmer getting egged in Budapest - but trying to work out what the egger was saying to the eggee isn't too easy - especially if you don't speak Hungarian.



Luckily, I know someone who speaks Hungarian, so if any of you are wondering what the guy said to Ballmer shortly before being escorted from the lecture hall, here you go: (You can work out the English bits for yourselves)

EGG CHUCKER: Hey you, Microsoft has caused Hungary 25 Billion Hungarian Forints in (unintelligible) to the Hungarian people – give that money back right now.

OTHER VOICE (presumable security/lecturer): Could you please leave the room? (In very polite Hungarian)

EGG CHUCKER: Ok.

OTHER VOICE: What were you thinking? (Again, in very polite Hungarian)

EGG CHUCKER: our country is going to pay a lot more for letting him doing a ‘parade’ (circus) here…

OTHER VOICE: This way, this way so we can see you leaving the room.

So the guy was actually being remarkably restrained then.

{thinks}
I do so like to see a bully cowering in fear.

Hungarian security were extremely polite to this guy! it's funny to see Steve ducking like they threw granades at him. Atleast it's not as bad as the guy who threw a pie in Bill Gates' face a few years ago.
