I'm susprised the shoeless guy didn't get shot down

It seemed like a good dodge, to be honest. It all happened so quickly, and twice.

srsly?

yeah, the old man moves quick, damn.

It is a sign of respect and devotion in Iraq to throw your shoes at somebody. That desert sand is HOT and FILTHY, you wouldn't throw away your shoes unless someone had really earned it.

Poor guy is probably being tortured severely as we speak.

man why didnt it get him square in the face, it was a good throw!

anyway, easy to duck cos it's a shoe and not very aerodynamic, plus he's an expert at ducking (questions).

muntather al-zaidi--man of the year?

Pres. Bush reported it was a size 10. what a dumbass, seriously.
too sad the Iraqi journalist will most likely go to jail for like 2 years. he's one brave motherfucker.

anyway, this situation is so! fucking! hilarious!

Apparently he risks 7 years of detention, but his tv and other media are defending him saying "that was just a way to express the freedom of speech/opinion USA wants to grant us" or something to that effect..

rightfully so...

i mean the dude is a fucking hero, already. free the dude. fuck.

yeah, and 200 + lawyers do want to defend the guy in court, for free.

can't wait to see what gets thrown at Barak come Jan 20th, and whether his reflexes are as good as Georgey's.

ha yeah

let's get it on

in the arab culture, taking off your shoes and throwing them at someone is the utmost in DISRESPECT. No one on crack ass white folks merica news seems to be talking about that aspect of it.

Because it's too bloody obvious, perhaps?

nope, because american news are aimed at the level of 12 year olds.

too much info about other cultures makes the populace "confused" and "scared"

sarramkrop, it is only obvious to those who already know. I would venture that 95% of the USA population has no idea what taking off yr shoes and throwing them at someone MEANS, and if the method by which info is disseminated,the news media, does not cover it, even in passing, those 95% will never ever know

hahahaha

I mean, Rob, seriously, go out and start throwing your shoes at random people, then post about their ractions on this board. This is just so fucking ridiculous.
