Striking taxi driver trolls news report with a very rude fake name

Guess nobody on the news team speaks Greek, huh?

A cheeky cab driver who was out on the street protesting changes to taxi licenses in Melbourne, saw the arrival of a news crew as the perfect opportunity to exercise some creative dissent.

So the naughty malaka gave them a fake name. A rude one at that. The man, who called himself "Tsim Booky," successfully got a Greek word meaning "blowjob" (tsimbouki or τσιμπούκι officially) on national morning news program, Sunrise.

And people are impressed.

The unnamed cabbie from Melbourne may have taken down the serious tone of his strike against the Victorian state government's plans to deregulate the taxi industry and legalise Uber but seriously, if you felt you were facing potential financial ruin, wouldn't you want to stick it to the man, too?

Either way, many Melbourne residents got a good LOL out of it. After all, Melbourne has the largest Greek population out of any city in the world, outside Greece. Look it up.

Hey, if nothing else, it's a good reminder to improve that diversity strategy, hey Sunrise? From one wog to another; bravo sir. Bravo.
