What's the relationship between the Bush Shoe Incident and MMOs? Uh... You can always link up them if you like. Look at this GIF: Bush should be a rogue with high dodge rate, and Maliki obviously used the Intervene skill, so he should be a warrior.
WIRED's Lewis Wallace got together all kinds of information ahout Bush Shoe Incident for us. Let's see...
The simple site Thank You for Throwing Your Shoe offers thanks to Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the now-famous journo who shoe-bombed President George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference last Sunday. The site solicits photos of people with their own footwear as a tribute to al-Zeidi's unsuccessful two-shoe attack.
"Hold up your shoe for Muntadar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who was arrested for throwing his shoes at President Bush," the site says. "We don't condone shoe throwing, but we prefer it to war."
Since Wired.com first wrote about the rapid appearance of animated GIFs and games immortalizing the incident, many more impromptu memorials have surfaced, mostly in the form of games.
The Shoe Bush Worldwide game (screenshot above) lets players fling a wide variety of footwear -- from high heels to cowboy boots -- at an increasingly disheveled president, with success measured by a Whack-O-Meter. Duck Duck Bush lets gamers chuck almost anything (including a pit bull with lipstick) at the commander in chief.
Other games include:
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
