I want a body like fergie.

today at work, while i was assisting doc eddie, we were watching "cnn newroom" on the cnn hd channel. apparently, there's that whole EPIC commotion about the arab man who threw not one, but TWO shoes at president bush. (hahaha! *insert sinister laughter here*)

anyway, the news reporters commenced their special report by showing us viewers a select few of the viral internet videos circulating our web via youtube, word of mouth, forums, etc (jeez, btw youtube's our modern day key to social awareness, seriously... lol.) one of the videos related to the incident was a scene from austin powers where the enemy throws a shoe at uh, well, mr. powers. only except in this video, bush and the arab's heads were superimposed over austin and his enemy's heads, respectively. i mean, i'd post it right now but im at work (psh, evidently working hard). it was slightly humorous, i guess? but something else struck me as funnier.

what was it you ask? (or are you even asking? ha.) well, after that segment the news casters took the ordeal to the streets of ny. they then asked random bystanders for their opinions, one of which was this little girl. in fact, she was probably the most innocent looking caucasian blonde-haired cutie patootie out there. her response to cnn was, "how could you throw two shoes at our president?" ironic that this was coming from such a young individual and although she was probably four years old, she made perfect sense. i mean, what the hell was secret service doing anyway??? it made me giggle moreso than the internet videos.

another person responded, "at least it wasn't a shoe-icide bomb." my response to THAT is this: i'd rather it have BEEN a shoe-icide bomb than two normal shoes for plenty of reasons. hmm, but here's three. one, that was a waste of good shoes. two, it probably left the people in the conference room anticpating an explosion, only to be disappointed (haha). three, to throw one's shoes at a president is very insulting. lol. its analogous to what's called a "bitch slap." haha. FOR REAL. way to hurt his pride, arab man.

nevertheless, bush would probably be ill nasty on my dodgeball team.
