Now shoe-tossing games where sadism meets Bush-ism

Inspiration knows no bounds and in the internet age, reaction time is zilch. To every exciting incident these days, there is an equally rocking internet reaction. And there is nothing that the mighty internet cannot immortalize.

Little did the Iraqi journalist who tossed his shoes at President George W. Bush know that he will become the trigger point of creative pursuits that will flood the net within hours of his much-touted heroic feat.

Just like one could walk up to voodoo dolls and hit them to the heart's content to get over a fit of temper, peace loving world citizens and netizens can now pop a shoe at a celebrity at a click of a mouse. All you need to do is surf the ether that is steaming with spawning games and video mash-ups where you could take a hit at Bush-ism. The target being the same, the shoe tosser could be you!

Try out the Sock and Awe browser game, for instance, where players toss shoes at the bobbing-and-weaving president. The Flying Babush and Bush's Boot Camp games offer similar action. If you were a bundle of excitement catching the documentary footage of al-Zeidi's infamous shoe-toss with various clips showing the incident in raw form and slow motion, wait till you see the games on offer.

And millions of satisfied gamers are flooding the net with their appreciation notes....���tried it and scored 9��� says one and ���dying to get on to it��� says another. And they will flood you with more options. Perhaps, there is no form of sadism that the games cannot satisfy.
