Of course, the recent shoe attack on President George W. Bush in Iraq created the perfect storm for online video.
As you might know (although Bush clearly did not from this video), the showing of the sole of a shoe is the ultimate insult in Arab countries. And throwing a shoe? Well, worse.
In this country, making a video about shoe-throwing is.
Here are some results, plus one of my favorite hit online videos about shoes, called, of course, “Shoes”:
RE-MIX
SLO-MO
BOOGIE SHOES
CRISPIN GLOVER IS ODD
THESE SHOES RULE, THESE SHOES SUCK

Bush isn’t any one of the most popular president of US. But I am sure he must be the most famous one that brought us so many fun.
