Shoe-Tossing Art Exhibits Edit
Gallery Invites People to Throw Shoes at Bush for $1


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



Just when we thought we had heard the last about the incident involving Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zeidi, who was arrested last month for throwing his shoes at President George W. Bush, an artist has opened an exhibition that invites people to hurl shoes at a portrait of Bush.

For $1, visitors to the Mada Shell Gallery in Oregon, USA are given a shoe with red paint coated sole which they then throw at an eight-foot portrait of Bush, covering him with red paint marks.

According to the couple behind the shoe-tossing art exhibit, Eric Navickas and Amy Godard, the money raised will go towards future exhibits at the gallery.

Shoe throwing is becoming a huge trend. Lately I have seen reports that demonstrators really like to follow Muntadar al-Zeidi example by throwing their shoes to embassies by the thousands.

Yes, I'm betting that this will not be the last shoe-tossing trend we find in 2009.

I got a nice reaction from the fans when I stood up and made the motion like I was going to throw my shoe at the basketball cheerleader tossing shirts to the fans. I'm looking for other opportunities. Communion?
