CAMBRIDGE, England - A protester threw a shoe at Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and called him a dictator as he delivered a speech on the global economy in England on Monday.

The shoe missed Wen, landing about three feet away from him.

It seems no world leader is safe from this epidemic of shoe terrorism!

  idiots even cant throw properly.

 It is quite strange actually, the main protesters in Cambridge were not Chinese!!!! 

 Perhaps you should open a Shoe Throwing University?  

It would make for better entertainment if one of these shoes actually made contact with the intented target.    

You could also train world leaders on who to throw their own shoes so they don´t feel like they can´t strike back......I can picture it now....entire new conferences turning into shoe throwing festivals!  Maybe they should just pass out slippers at the beginning of news conferences so that reporters and world leaders can throw their slippers at will.....without the threat of actually inflicting harm.  It would probably do wonders for pent up aggression.

 i actually now remembered one old incident (then you were a child or perhaps not born yet) which was quite well known

nikita hrushov (PBUH) took his shoe off and threatened bed philipino (delegate to bed amerika)  at UN

 I think we need to start a "shoe throwing research project".  See how many shoe throwing incidents we can find.

Hehe!  I can start that one off ...................

It is a very long story, about a sister-in-law and brother-in-law and messy divorce.  So to cut things short, sister-in-law got a little bit angry with me and threw her shoe at me down her stairs and it hit me on the head!

I know it pales into insignificance in political terms, but she was a bloody good shot!

and here is something else to entertain............

Warning: Bush fans you could be offended so please don´t open

 heh heh makes me giggle that someone took a lot of time to come up with that and write the program for my pleasure

 Yes it is quite entertaining .................................... and time consuming
