Father of Great Firewall attacked with egg and shoe

Alleged picture of the egg thrower
Breaking, kind of hilarious news! Fang Binxing, the principal of Beijing University of Posts & Telecommunications and the guy thought to be behind the infrastructure of the Great Firewall, was giving a lecture at Wuhan University earlier today and was allegedly pelted with eggs and a shoe.

While the numerous eggs seem to have missed, the shoe allegedly struck its target... apparently that guy's going to get pretty lucky later on. Already, Sina Weibo has started erasing mentions of the incident.

If you want to follow what people are saying, Chinese Tweeters already have a hashtag for it on Twitter (which, obviously, isn't erasing posts): #FuckFBX. Subtle!

    Gay people reply to their own post. Hence the fat cupcake kid up top (Rushour1) is fucking rancid gay like smelly beggar off the street.
  • mimomimo
    Awesome.
  • Rushhour1
    Pingin? rpivate? What is this kind of western secrate code language! lol! Forget how to speak, you should better learn before you start to use the internet! lol!
  • blargh_11
    You are the last person who should be dissing someone on their "language skill". People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.
  • definatroa
    I fully agree, blargh.  
    Not only Rushhour1's English skill is even worse than Rushour1, his taste is extremely horrible when he says "the western pus pus Americnas".  No wonder he is from a poor village in Yunnan. My dad told me, if you cannot speak right, just shut up.
  • Tried "pinging" it from my location and can not.Which confirms that it is something "rpivate" near you.http://healthproductadvice.com/lean-m...

    The only thing hilarious about this news is the hypocracy of those cowardly throw food and then celebrate using Twitter! lol!  Only a fool would not relisyh the irony, that if not for the wonderful people like Fang Binxing the people of China would be exposed to such dangerous information such as Twitter! lol
    !  Enjoy your blind celebration fools. LOL!
  • RUSHOUR1
    I am so happy "Rushhour1" is doing better than I.
    My opinion is: If twice democratically elected monkey faced Bush were thrown at a shoe, why not everybody?
  • definatroa
    I wont allow you asshole to badmouth Bush this way. He is my all time hero. I also feel he is quite handsome, nothing to do with ' monkey face'.
    Even though he failed to find WMD hidden only God know where, he liberated 60 millions poor Iraqi, including many girls like me. I think I am not alone loving Bush. When I moved to states in 2003, all Americans around loved him like I do.
  • RUSHOUR1
    Although my darling Rushhour1 disagreed with you about Bush's monkey look, you can still comfort yourself that he sure agree with you that Iraq has a population of 60 millions, which he got spoonfed in his secondary last years in Texas where rednecks like his dad always have salivar drop beside mouths, lol!
  • Rushhour1
    Lol! You worship a dog! lol!  Bush is a war criminal and the mastermind behind the 911 but since maybe you never heard of this thing because you only arrived in the US in 2003!  Lol!  Even the western pus pus Americnas here will agree with me that Bush is a evil Dog, its common knowlage you asshole! lol!
  • So classic
