The first time I watched the video of Steve Ballmer being egged in Hungary, I must admit I was disgusted. I sat open-jawed in amazement, completely outraged at what I’d just witnessed. The egg thrower had missed. Missed! He was so close he was practically sat in Ballmer’s lap, and yet somehow he had conspired to heft his egg dismally wide of the – not inconsiderably sized – mark. One can only assume he was blinded by a stray beam of light flashing off Ballmer’s shiny head, but even so… the shame.

Now this is not to suggest that Ballmer deserved to be egged. I happen to like the man, and blogged unashamedly about it a few days ago. I simply feel that if you’re going to make the effort to egg somebody, pride dictates that you actually hit them, otherwise all you’ve done is created a mess some poor cleaner is going to have to spend an extra chunk of their day having to clean up. That’s right, it’s inconsiderate and rude not to hit your target.

Obviously I’m not the only one who feels this way, because the following link will take you to the three and half minutes of fun that compromises the “Egg Attack” game, giving you the chance to yolk Steve Ballmer properly – hopefully erasing the stain of shame that must hang over the Hungarian student in question.

Now, where’s that John Terry penalty game…
