Flinging Things at Authority

Last Saturday, I felt extremely mischievous when I saw a spider climbing up my laptop.Rather than brushing it off or setting it free, I , of course, picked it up and threw it at my younger sister.After her ten minutes of shrieking and crying, my sister told on me to my mom. Instead of scolding me, I was alarmed by her response. " Practicing throwing  bizarre things at authority?" This soon began to fester in my mind... I began to wonder the different things thrown at celebrities and notable figures in society.


For instance, there is the shoe throwing Iraqi reporter, Muntadar al-Zaidi, who threw his shoes at former < thank God>  US president, George W. Bush during a press conference. There were mixed reactions to his brave confrontation. Some applauded his protest claiming it was 'courageous' while others denounced it bitterly. While as for comedians and people like me, we just laughed at the whole scenario making fun of Bush.( "Probably the first time he leaned to the left" XD )

Flinging shoes at the President of the U.S. Genius, in my eyes.

One of my favorite incidents is with the homeless man throwing a tomato at Sarah Palin during one of her book signings. Unfortunately or luckily for her, the tomato hit a police officer instead of the charismatic governor. Apparently the man, felt that the tomato was better off thrown at her than consumed.


A very bizarre case of flinging involved a German student who took off his shorts in front of a Hell's Angels clubhouse in Munich and proceeded to hurl a puppy at them as he escaped on a stolen bulldozer. Don't believe me? I have the BBC link right here. And also... poor puppy.. ;___; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10333211

Now that i think of it, it is common to throw things at people. I mean, the Beatles had panties thrown at them. Now I wonder... should become famous... what will be thrown at me?
