A new SHOE-T in the arm

The recession hit shoe industry has been infused a new breath of life by the rising shoe flinging incidents across the world. So much so that a lot of leading footwear makers globally have decided to invest a sizeable chunk of their R&D into designing a footwear that is easy to fling and hits the target with a precision of a ballistic missile.
Leecock, Global leaders in the sports shoe category, are already in the process of creating a shoe that will help all those desperate to be famous folks including journalist community..
Mr. Shoolace Jootawala, Chief of emerging markets, Leecock Plc, refused to divulge the technical details of this new wonder shoe but did mention that this revolutionary invention would borrow from the aerodynamics used in the aero planes so that the shoe can travel long distance “This is very important considering that our large set of customers are found in election rallies in places like India where the distance between the thrower and the receiver is too far” explained Mr.Jootawala.
It has been learnt that some companies are also trying to invent a shoe along the lines of self guided missiles so that the thrower can make sure that once programmed to a particular object, the shoe find its own way to hit the target.
Our reliable sources have also learnt that ‘Chanta’ , a household name of footwears in the Indian subcontinent has secretly tested a fling specialist hawai chappal for the journalist of small newspaper as low cost alternative to expensive brands like Leecock and BadiAss.

If the recent clandestine meetings of Mr.Jootawala with Muntadar al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist, widely respected as father of Shoe Flinging are anything to go by , there is every possibility of him being appointed as the brand ambassador of the Leecock’s next offering.
There also reports of Mr.Jarnail Singh Shoemaarker opening a Show throw academy where the journalists will be taught the dynamics of throwing a shoe in Press conferences and distance throw during rallies.

This has also received a very positive response from the political leaders as it will encourage more and more people in shoe throwing and hence catapult them into the elite category of Bush,Advani and Chidambram. However, the recent shoe throwing incident at Mr.Advani in a rally has sparked new debate among congress and BJP. Congress Spokesman was quoted as saying that Mr.Chidambaram of their party got hit by a brand new shoe of Leecock whereas Mr.Advani was treated with a down-market cheap priced khadau. This according to congress spokesman shows popularity of congress party over BJP .BJP, on the other hand has rebuted congress’s claims on the grounds of research they conducted on the Khadau which according to them was made of an extremely precious wood found in the dense forests of Ireland and hence more expensive then the Leecock (He misspelled the brand name as ‘Lee’s cock’ as a protest of which he was also thrown a shoe at by one brand loyalist). He also mentioned that the same wood is used to produce the pencil used by the security guard of white house to note details of daily visitors.
To score another point over the rival party, he also mentioned that Khadau is a symbol of Masses and hence symbolizes that BJP is party of masses unlike congress which only cares for rich and elite few.
Communist party of India has criticized the BJP and the congress for foreign connections in the shoes thrown at their leaders.
Mr Fududeb Bhattacharya, the chief Minister of West Bengal has credited his party to be the only party with pure and honest nationalist interest.” Unlike BJP and congress who have been hurled shoes made in foreign soil or with foreign raw material our leaders are thrown at lakhani , action or even paragon, complete Indian brands ”

However, the Shoe throwing has also evoked concerns at some quarters. The recent intelligence reports of CIA reveal that the Taliban is training a lethal shoe throwing brigade ‘HisBoots Mujahideen’ for hurling shoes at the next press conference of Barack Obama.
This Brigade will also be equipped with the stinking socks. As a precautionary measure Mr.Obama will address all the press conferences wearing a helmet and is also advised to keep 4 packs of Odonil or other toilet fresheners with him at any given time to alleviate the outbreak of foul smell of the socks which ostensibly have been worn continuously for 3 months without any exposure to any kind of liquid but the sweat of the Taliban fighters.
