The ones thrown at US President George W. Bush!


In 2008, during a Iraqi press conference which Bush was conferring with then Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, an enraged reporter hurls his shoes, one after another, towards a stunned Bush.

Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi was listening to his speech when Bush's words pissed him off. Like a dramatic scene, Bush dodges the shoes neatly and the bodyguards immediately jumps onto the reporter.

When news got out, many similarly disgruntled people hailed him as a hero. The bigger hero though were his shoes and apparently, a Saudi businessman offered a whopping US$10 million to buy the shoes thrown by al-Zaidi.

(In addition, Ramazan Baydan, the maker of the shoes, got a windfall when they received orders for 300,000 pairs in a single week!

Which of this should I hurl at the lanky bastard upon his return from London
