From: Vestan Pance Category: Art Date: 15 December 2008 Time: 05:05 AM Review: Unquestionably the ultimate statement made on all of our behalf's, shame that the 'journalist' slinging the footwear did'nt take a few sizes larger, perhaps a pair of those gravity-increasing boots worn by deep sea divers before Cousteaux's scuba tanked skin-diversity or the very elongated Grotowskian Clown shoes favoured by members of the Coldplay Rock/Pop combo, The plain fact that Bush does indeed have superb physical reactions places him even further away from a cereberite in the guise of a neanderthal, certainly there was a Simian quality to the mans reaction as the boot came arcing over, resembling the If cartoonists depiction of the hapless chimpanzee to an alarmingly accurate degree. It could be argued that the majority of political asses worldwide would be subjected to exactly the same treatment if only the spectre of so called 'terrorism' had not been indelibly co-joined to the myth of 'security', thus re-classifying all forms of protest from mild eccentricity to fiction fed delusional nutters as Terrorists and thereby subjecting them all to equal neutrality. This distopian symbolic gesture was also fortified by the look of utter disdain on the accompanying installed government figure standing alongside Bush, his empathy for the protagenist could not have been more clearly evident. Ways of neutralising the idea before it catches on; either shoe throwing becomes a warm-up for strictly come dancing, an Olympian sport, X-factor finalists throw shoes of their choice at Simon Cowell and his plastacine faced cohort or as an outside possibility, Andrew Lanyon includes the idea in one of his eponymous films.
