I mean, who drives a shoe? Honestly!

By Thoreau

If Muntadar al-Zaidi plans to flee from his persecutors, he’ll need some transportation.  Here’s one suggestion from him:

Shoe Car

    Sweet ride, but man, I bet it costs at least twice as much a pair of sneakers.

    But you gotta make sure nobody gets on it with an exploding airplane.

    I suppose at this point we have to drop all pretense and admit we wish the guy was becoming a vigilante superhero.

    It’d make a great comic: Muntadar Throws Shoes at Whoever’s Annoying Us Right Now.

    I believe this vehicle was sold at police auction after being impounded by notorious 1960s Batman villain The Cobbler, after a particularly dastardly two-part episode in which the evildoer attempted to steal Liberace’s diamond loafers.

    We’re all a little beholden to Muntadar: the dude had the balls and conviction to stand up to The Emperor. Therefore, I say we start some sort of “Keep Muntadar not dead” charity. I’m not saying I’ve got a detailed plan, but I think it’s workable… In addition to donations, we could have merchandising – instead of WWJD stuff we could have WWMD (What Would Muntadar Do?) or equivalently (Where’s the Weapons of Mass Destruction?).

    The perfect car for anyone who still sleeps in a race-car bed

    All these mid-size SUVs have looked like athletic shoes to me for years now. This seems a logical progression of that tired auto aesthetic.

    I like Muntadar as superhero. His crime was such a great punctuation for a truly underwhelming Presidency. Should have aimed lower, though.

    It’s my impression that, in the same circumstances, Obama would have caught the shoe and tossed it back. I give W props for agility, but he looked pretty goofy as he ducked the shoes. Here’s hoping Obama never deserves a shoe to the head.

    Clearly, this vehicle is only for the well-heeled.
