President Bush has faced many hard trials and tests during his time in office. Some doofus Iraqi throwing his shoes at the President hardly compares to things he has faced in the past. A real entrepreneur could take that whole shoe-throwing incident and make a profit. I can envision a computer game, or a video game called Shoe-Down at the Baghdad Corral. The player of the game would take the role of the President, and during a press conference in Baghdad a disgruntled Iraqi reporter starts tossing shoes at you. You have to duck and dodge the shoes, everything from sandals and loafers to spike heels, but you have the ability to use the presidential seal as a shield to block the shoes and a number of acrobatic moves such as back flips and somersaults to avoid being hit. The goal is for you to keep ducking , dodging and deflecting the shoes until the slow moving secret service agents eventually reach and tackle the Iraqi reporter. You can take a certain amount of hits from the flying shoes, but get hit too many times and your lose the game and have to retire from the Presidency to become a shoe salesman for Al-Jazeera brand footware. Win the game, and you will receive the glorious title of SOLE SURVIVOR!
