Zero To Meme In 60 Seconds: Bush V. Shoe Spawns Parodies A-Plenty
It's not so surprising that the internet has spawned parodies of loafer-happy journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi's size 10 Bushbuster - but boy oh boy, there are a lot of 'em. Just today we've got Duck Hunt, Pokemon, Mortal Kombat, Monte Python, the Three Stooges, the Matrix, and World of Warcraft parodies. And more keep coming.
Naturally (says I), the WoW parody takes the cake: not only is Bush a boss (for about another month, yay), but the shoe attack scores a knockdown while Maliki is AFK. So are the secret servicemen, I suppose, but they don't even make it onscreen.
World Leader Tip #46b: If your security guys don't make it into the frame of the video that shows you being assaulted by hard-soled ballistics, get new security guys.
Check out some other parodies after the jump.

I kinda like the Matrix one as well, but that's just 'cos I love that movie! But the WoW rocks.
