"Let not emotional action of one person hijack the entire press conference," Chidambaram remarked after the incident.
The journalist refused to comment when asked about brand of the shoe. Yet, unidentified sources confirm that several US shoe manufacturers are on the verge of pushing their new "throw enhanced" designs in the market. An unknown spokesperson said, "We believe this trend will increasingly continue and we are confident that shoe throwers will like our nano-technologically modified products."
The Bush shoe-throwing incident was an inspiration to journalists everywhere. Soon they are going to be bringing extra supplies of shoes with them to conferences - just in case a throwing is in order.
ReplyDeleteSad but true. Instead of covering what the protest -shoe-throwing in this case- is about, journalists write about flying shoes, leaving nothing to write for me. It is difficult to compete with big media, you know. The future of this blog looks gloomy, indeed.
