Rupert Murdoch was just attacked during the big News Corp hacking hearing in the British Parliament. Via Business Insider, this is objectively insane and awesome:
Update: Via Jezebel’s Whitney Jefferson, the Gif you’ve all been waiting for:
The Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has it in slow-motion:
Amateur analysis, but that appears to be a “right hook” to “the grill.”
Also:
- This may be the work of one “Johnny Marbles.”
- Guy who says “This is an outrage!” at conclusion of attack. How delightfully British!
- The Murdoch-owned Fox News is showing this clip on repeat like it’s the David Tyree helmet-catch, except instead of David Tyree it’s Wendi Deng and instead of a football it’s her fist catching some young scamp’s face.
- Ten minute break: an agonizing amount of time, given that tea requires a solid fifteen minutes to really enjoy.
Update: Here’s the report from a guy who was in the galley as it happened. Anything that begins “I write this with shaving foam still spattered on my face and shirt” is unquestionably worth a read.

I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, GrabPenny.com
Wendy Deng should be the next Bond girl. She is tougher than Michelle Yeoh.
She took the bait!
Wendi Deng reacted before anyone else in the scene. She appears to be a well-trained military professional, a really tough 007 woman. Who has made her? who has sent her to the old man? who is behind all this phone-tapping scandel? Has Communist China’s spy agency been listening to western politicians under media cover? Anyway, she took the bait today, good job, guys!
