Bush Shoe Toss Games Go Viral
Tew's "stupid little flash game" started getting millions of hits, and threatened to overload the servers for Tew's new humor site. "We've spent the last three days trying to keep the servers alive and we're meant to be working on our other main startup PopJam. So we whacked it on eBay," he said.
- Kast Sko Mot Bush, a cool, catapult-powered game
- Ninja Bush, which puts the president in a black ninja outfit and lets him return fire with baseballs
- Bye Bye Bush, which shows the president on an infinite field (and gives players a seemingly endless supply of shoes)
- Bush Shoe Incident, which tests players' reaction time
Many websites and animated GIFs have also drawn supporters. One website, Thank You for Throwing Your Shoe, asks people to: "Hold up your shoe for Muntadar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who was arrested for throwing his shoes at President Bush. We don't condone shoe throwing, but we prefer it to war". The site is a gallery of people holding up their own shoes in support, and has hundreds of submissions already.

I can totally understand why so many people dislike President Bush, but man this get's me fired up. Even if you dislike the president (any president), I feel, you should still respect the office. I didn't vote for Obama and strongly disagree with many of his views, but you can bet that if I ever met the man I'd be respectful. |

While I respect your right to your opinion and will fight to the death to ensure you can speak it, I have to ask: Why only shoes? Why can't we throw lawnmowers at Bush? (Please visit the site to view this media) |

Hi All I totally agree with you Marco. Respect seems to be a lost commodity. Folk know they won't be held accountable for their actions. |

>> "Folk know they won't be held accountable for their actions." ...especially if you have to respect them solely for their office. Freedom of speech. It's not just a good idea, it's the law. |

Freedom of speech is great and all, but too often it is used by immature knuckleheads. Being able to get your point across without being disrespectful seems to be a quality that is sorely lacking in many. Back in August of 2006 Hugo Chavez gave a speech at the U.N. concerning George Bush that was very disrespectful. THIS might actually be funny if not for the fact that Hugo Chavez is Venezuela's Presidente. |

The great thing is, we're just as free to point out that Hugo Chavez is a raving nutcase. And, since people in his own country can't, ours is definitely the better system. This flash game is nothing new. Political cartoonists have been doing the exact same thing for much longer (trivia: first political cartoon accompanied Benjamin Franklin's editorial on the british colonies). |
The day after that happen i went to work and everyone was talking about it. I do get fire up like you Marco not only because is the most disrepectful thing you could do to a human being (WTF is he a kid?) but he is a President! does not matter how much he screw up or whatever you respect him! society accept things like this why? because that how they are! sometimes i just want to go to a remote place far away from all this hypocraisy that we live in.... |
