In case if you’re tired of throwing shoes at Bush, you can now throw it at your friends in Facebook. Although your friends are not ‘accusing’ someone to own weapon mass destruction for ‘evil’ purpose, but hey, it is all for fun.

Notes: Throwing shoes at your friends won’t make you a prisoner (unlike in Iraq). And for Malaysians, don’t worry, it won’t make you end up detained under ISA.. lol
