The video of Bush being shoe at the Baghdad conference last Saturday spread on youtube, and it has exceeded 5.5 million.
On Saturday, a man threw his shoes at US President George Bush at a conference held in Baghdad. This video definitely has enough reasons to make it notorious: absolutely shameless behavior, incredible and vulnerable security measures around the US President (a news reporter took off his shoes and threw them), and the sadness of an outgoing president. This video has become notorious online through youtube.
In less than 12 hours, the number of views of the video increased from 2 million to 5.5 million, and it may exceed the growth line of Obama's victory speech video within 48 hours. Is this how Bush will be remembered?
Once the video of Zaidi, a TV station reporter in Iraq, throwing shoes at President Bush was broadcast, it triggered a "viewing" craze. A British company also quickly developed a topical mini-game.
