The Iraqi government calls Muntazer (or is it Mundathar?) al-Zaidi's footwear protest yesterday "barbaric and ignominious", which is absolute crap. It's assault, yes, but it's no more ignominious or barbaric than a pie-to-the-face -- more insulting, yes, but not more barbaric.

[livejournal.com profile] divalea did this image, perfect for stickers based on a twitter of mine last night. I'm into that.

I'll offer two more stickerables:

"In his shoes I'd throw mine too."
and perhaps
"I'm a size 10 too"

I'm aware of how insulting it is -- it's more like throwing shit than like throwing a pie -- but I still think it's hardly "barbaric".

oh okay, I wasn't sure. The pie comment threw it off for me. I agree that it's hardly "barbaric", though.
