Wednesday, December 17, 2008 at 13:52
A reader from Turkey updates us on the transformation of serious news into video games.
The Turkish tribute to Muntazar al-Zaidi's throwing of shoes at President Bush includes not one but two on-line challenges: The Bush Shoe Throwing Game and That Guy Totally Threw a Shoe at Bush: The Game.
Enjoy!
*Our reader adds: "I have read that the thrown shoes were made in Turkey. So, we know at least who gave the shoes to put flowers inside."
