Shoe Statue Dedication

[Antiquity]

Searched the forum and didn't really find a thread on this. If there is one that I missed, let me know so I can get rid of this one please.

Uh...apparently...

Link-->Saddam's hometown unveils statue dedicated to man who threw shoe at President Bush

It's a giant shoe...with a plant apparently growing out of it. And just look how happy that woman is in the corner.

Thoughts?

How insulting to Bush...

LOL a true Hero. *wipes tear from eye*

Why did the guy throw his shoe exactly?

So I can throw a shoe at the Prime Minister of Australia and I'll get a statue made for me?

Awesome.

Baghdad-based artist Laith al-Amari described the fiberglass-and-copper work as a tribute to the pride of the Iraqi people.

Umm yea... You know somethin's wrong when your pride is shown via a shoe...

Shoe-throwing monument removed from Iraqi orphanage - CNN.com
Bush Shoe Statue removed after being on display for one day.

That is pretty insulting in my book I mean why the hell does he get a statue dedicated to him?

 

[Genesis]

Man, its removed already?

 

[Shade737]

Man, its removed already?

Yea sadly it is

He should be recognised internationally.

The statue was kinda crappy though =/

 

[Shade737]

He is and not in a good way either.

 

[Genesis]

Yep. Dont think he's allowed into the US now.

 

[Shade737]

I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of the shoe statue.

 

[Genesis]

xD
To avoid all unnecessary trouble, I hope there wont be another.

 

[AndyCloseEyes]

Excellent. Too bad it was removed. Those pedestrians looked so happy.

 

[Space Cowboy]

Just a shoe?

A better statue would have been the guy throwing the shoe with shoe in hand.

But a shoe with a plant growing out of it...

Only in Iraq.

 

[Finland]

Aw, it was removed? >:
It would have been one heck of a statue.

 

[Shade737]

They should make a reference to this in a movie.
