Muntadar al-Zaidi, The Iraqi journalist’s shoe-throwing attack on George W Bush has been immortalised in an online video game:

As hilarious and .gif worthy the incident was, did we really need a flash game?
Apparently so.

The company T-Enterprise must be quick with their flash programming because in less than 24 hours they managed to churn out a game [albeit a crappy one] where you must defend the President from shoes being thrown his way.

Rather than batting the shoes down with your arms or hands, though, the game makes you shoot the shoes, with a good chance at hitting the President. Game Politics noted that was probably by design. 

I thought I was doing well, until [like countless others] I unloaded into the President. Personal first-time high score of 36 OH YEAH!

“If you watch the video clip, the Secret Service don’t move to protect the President until the second shoe has been thrown,” said Sadi Chishti, managing director of T-Enterprise, the Glasgow-based company behind the computer game. “We’re hoping the agents will use this game as a training aid for future footwear attacks on world leaders.”
