Shoe In

A Facebook group is encouraging members to Send Your Smelly Old Shoes to George W. Bush to show support for the Iraqi journalist who hurled his footwear at the lame duck president. The mailing address on Pennsylvania Avenue is included along with instructions for delivering the snail mail message. From online games to Facebook groups, it is interesting to see how the shoe-throwing incident has become an Internet meme. Visitors to the site are also encouraged to sign a human rights online petition for fair treatment for the journalist who is currently in detention.
