Shoes in the News


2008 was quite a year for shoes. There were shoes that pumped up a wearable inflatable chair, Obama's shoes with holey soles, the seemingly endless severed feet, and of course the shoes that caused George Bush to "move to the left." This week started with thousands of shoes scattered on a Florida freeway, and today Downing Street is littered with shoes.

Today's incident is, of course, a protest against events in Gaza. It's not just shoes - there were thousands of demonstrators, including Brian Eno, Bianca Jagger, Annie Lennox, and of course George Galloway. More about the demonstrations at this Daily Mail link.
