The recent attack on US President George W. Bush has prompted a Turkish shoe firm to take on 100 extra staff to cope with a surge in orders, after an Iraqi tosser threw a shoe at him.
The situation has become volatile and could cause war between at least four countries; with the Syrians claiming that they have manufactured it and the Egyptians also say it was one of theirs and even the Chinese have put their foot in the door by announcing that the shoe was an identical copy of one of their copies.
Sue Schumaker, a spokeswoman for pacifist group 'The Sandals of Peace International' told In Seine News today;
"This is just the sort of thing we don't want. It is a sick exploitation of one man's demonstration of the destruction wrought on Iraq by the US and we fear that there is going to be an influx of copy-cat manufacturers. Already Nike and Addidas are showing interest and it won't stop there as other 'protest icons' will soon appear on the market.
However, the condom makers of the one thrown at UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown in the House of Commons by terrorist group, 'Fathers 4 Justice' have gone bust in the current economic meltdown.
