Still, no shoe hit
An interesting way of protest being picked up.

Hope the next shoe hits the target:cool:

Good job Devrim.

edit: oh nvmd, just saw this quote by the shoe thrower: “The anti-imperialist youth of any country responsible for their future should act this way.”

Hope the next shoe hits the target


If I were organizing something like this, I'd try to get, say 5 or 10 people all throwing their shoes at the same time. That would be hilarious :lol:

Lets just hope that the shoe that is thrown the next time... Hits its target... What a waste of a shoe, when it doesn't hit the target.

But while a Turkish shoe company claimed to have made Mr. Zaidi’s shoe — a statement that promptly increased its sales worldwide — Mr. Ozbek’s shoe was reported to have been made by Nike.

its a capitalist conspiracy for shoe marketing!

really though, shoe throwing is a good way to protest in these situations, and if they take their shoes away, they have socks! i have a torn pair of shoes i would be glad to donate to an IMF official.
