Thread: Muntazer al-Zaidi Tribute Act! (Shoe tossed at Chinese PM)

I thought I heard "Get out of here!" from the shoe-hurler, in a Chinese accent, as he was being escorted out. A countryman's protest?

There's got to be a way to make shoe-hurling an Olympic event, in time for London 2012.

Gotta standardize the shoe size, distance thrown; whether to make cardboard poli targets, or just measure distance and accuracy. Windage, elevation, hurler motivation can all be scorable, if we work at it. Much more fun than the shot-put. Maybe include some taunting audio from the targets.

I think it's clear we'll have to outlaw any underhand hurls, and allow only overhand. We'll probably need rules on pre-hurl wind-up.

Women's 5 inch spike heels will be absolutely forbidden, of course, though I admit to harboring a fondness for them.

On feet.

Women's feet.

Ya perverts.

Not a Chinese student/dissident apparently, but a European looking guy. I would say German because of his accent in the video.
