Nobody gets it up here, though (in the “West”). A German student being tried in Britain is said to have gone beyond lawful protest when he threw a shoe towards Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao during a lecture at Cambridge University. What a bunch of humorless sticks in the mud youz guyz.

He just wanted to have a little fun and shake things up a little (just like somebody else wanted to do with some shoes recently somewhere some place but I can’t remember where). And the punch line: Following the arrest the student said that his action was legitimate given the crimes of the Chinese communist government. Damn I like this guy.

And I can’t wait for the next online throw-your-shoe-at-Wen-Jiabao game to come out, either.

“He was heard to say words to the effect that the university was prostituting themselves by allowing the Premier to speak and referred to the Premier as a dictator.”
