Muntader al-Zaidi, the ballsy Iraqi journalist who this weekend hurled a pair of of shoes at George W Bush while screaming, "Here is your goodbye kiss, dog," hadn't accounted for Dubya's amazing reflexes. Remember, Bush assailants: when you ruin the world, you begin to anticipate shit flying at you.
Many other public figures haven't been as prepared. After the jump, a video collection of successful projectile attacks on celebrities (and one we really, really wish would have hit the mark).

I do not dig these "activists." What? When someone does something wrong, do something wrong BACK? Ann would probably just use the incident to jusitify her hate, right? Why can't I just enjoy shit like this anymore? I only enjoyed how the girl who threw the flour on Lindsay looked like she couldn't believe she succeeded and ran away like a little elf. A deviant lil elf with a funny accent. Hee hee.
I am offended CNN labeled Coulter a journalist.
That word officially means nothing now.
Not at all impressed with any of those idiots. They obviously have a limited capacity to communicate their frustration, throwing pies or whatever, at someone because you disagree with them only makes the thrower look childish and ignorant.
How on earth did you leave out divorced Christian hypocrite Anita Bryant getting pied good and solid for her anti-gay pronouncments and agitation? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS91gT3XT_A) Richly deserved! It still gives me goosebumps. ha ha.
I love how you goofballs approach the topic of Pie-ing as an abstract moral question, as if you're scholling a five year old. Pffft, see where that gets you. If the media can be misused by politicians w/o question, then it can also occasionally be misused to humilaite and embarrass these dickholes also.
Think harder, moralists!
I agree Ilnazhad. Yes, it draws attention to their cause (in some cases), but it ultimately makes them look like childish fools. The Bush shoe incident is a little different because of the cultural implications, but it still doesn't make it right.
And Cord, I miss you. I can't believe Jossip redirected Mollygood over here. I can't even look back over the old site to enjoy the good old days. :-(
