'Sock and Awe!' game inspired by recent Bush incident Image 1

Unless you stay really clear of news, and don't have any friends that watch the news, you probably heard of the recent Bush'n'shoe incident. Muntadar al-Zeidi -- who is now being celebrated as a hero by most of Iraq -- threw two of his shoes at Mr. President during a press conference a few days ago. 

Somebody quick with Flash made up a game where you can now throw shoes at Bush from the comfort of your own home, without worrying about being rushed by Secret Service guys, and then thrown in a dirty jail someplace to be beaten.

The game is called 'Sock and Awe', and can be found right over here. According to the Inquirer, it has received more than 1.4 million hits so far.

What is really funny about this website is that it has a list of "Top 25 Bush-Shoeing Countries", which ranks which places most of the players of 'Sock and Awe' are from. The first place slot is taken by none other than the United States, showing that even many Americans love throwing footwear at Bush; France takes second place, and Australia third. 

And 'Sock and Awe' isn't the only game somebody made up: hailing from Norway we also have 'The Bush Game', where it is a little bit harder to hit the dodgy Bush.

    You have to hit him as fast as you can, as you only have about 3 minutes before the secret service take you down.

    Bush is good at evading shoes, perhaps he took some self-defence or martial arts of evading flying objects at great speed in unexpected circumstances, Hee Hee!!!!!!!!!!!!
