Looks like Rupert and others got hit by a pie.

[HughBeaumont]

So they threw the press out.

And now there's a rush of police cars. For a pie.

CNBC is playing the footage over and over and over again.

It's sheer comedy gold.

[HughBeaumont]

1. They should name schools after whoever threw that.

:rofl:

[flamingdem]

2. The Piester is a national... wait ...international hero nt

[brooklynite]

8. The piester is a jerk...

The only thing this sort of stunt does is bring sympathy to the victim, and lump all legitimate protestors in with those advocating violence in the minds of the public.

[flamingdem]

11. I disagree. Murdoch is going to get a pass and the pie represents the true feelings against him nt

[TalkingDog]

25. My true feelings about Rupert do not involve an otherwise innocent pie in any way shape or form

My true feelings against him are somewhat.... darker.

[tekisui]

14. lol. Poor Rupert.

I don't think it brings him any sympathy, and he is no 'victim'. And pie throwing is not violence.

[Cirque du So-What]

16. Yes, but you don't speak for the general public

many of whom will be appalled by public humiliation of an elderly 'gentleman.'

[TalkingDog]

26. I'm all about being appalled by humiliation of the disempowered, the weak and innocent.

No matter their age.

Murdoch is none of those things.

[Cirque du So-What]

15. I agree

IMO, this could be a false-flag op designed to generate sympathy for Murdick in the guise of 'attacking a defenseless old man.' I want no martyrdom in the quest for comeuppance!

[crazyjoe]

27. +1, stupid thing to do

[Raven]

3. I wonder what flavor. What happened to good old fashioned shoes?

[HughBeaumont]

6. Hope it was "humble".

After all, Rupert said he was "humbled" by the recent events.

:rofl:

[Brother Buzz]

10. Shoo-fly pie

:hide:

[Cetacea]

4. K+R

hehe

[TwilightGardener]

5. How does one carry a pie into such a venue? What do you tell people around you--

"This is dessert, for later"?

[W_HAMILTON]

24. lol

Interesting point :)

[Catherine Vincent]

7. Murdoch's wife protecting her man

You go girl!

[tekisui]

9. "Let them throw pie"

[OneGrassRoot]

12. OMG, Stewart and Colbert are gonna have a FIELD DAY! LOL n/t

[Cannikin]

22. So will Chelsea Handler.

[NJCher]

13. Keith kept a straight face when he just announced it

that the shaving cream did make it to Rupert's face.

Wow, what a professional.

I know if I were in that position, there would have been the hint of a smirk on my face.

17. People in the UK have balls because there's not an atmosphere of terror there, unlike here nt

[Nye Bevan]

18. Youtube video here. Gotta love the bobby's helmet.

[ZombieHorde]

20. Wow, there are some really racist comments for that video. nt

[Dappleganger]

21. You can see the cream on his jacket and Murdoch removed his glasses...

which means he probably got some on his face.

[Cannikin]

19. Dear god, did you see his wife spring into action???

[snagglepuss]

23. Maybe she is not so much a wife as a bodyguard similiar to Gaddaffi's

female guards.

[Cannikin]

30. I thought the same thing. I have scenes from "Volunteers" replaying in my head.

29. Kung Fu Wendi . . .

. . . destined to spring just as fast to the next ostentatiously rich oldster the very second her part of the will is read. :puke:

[jberryhill]

28. Oh good, something other than substance for the news networks to focus on /nt
