Popping up

Of late, chucking shoes appear to be the latest craze as a form of protest. The targeted victims for such shoe-throwing incidents are normally leaders, politicians or ministers. The trend of course was started by an attack on Ex-President George Bush by an Iraqi journalist named Muntadhar Al Zeidi. Everyone was surprised by the unusual and peculiar form of protest and expression of anger. The next on line to get targeted with shoe-throwing was the Chinese Prime Minister Mr. Wen. The Chinese Government was deeply outraged by the incident and conveyed their anger in clear-cut terms. Recently the Indian Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram also got subjected to a similar kind of shoe protest by a Sikh journalist. Looks like the demand for shoes will go up world over if such incidents increase.
