Capitalism..... it's got sole.

 

that shoes are the symbol of hate to bush in iraq.

 

Maybe people will throw other things at him in future to
help that product too!

ROOFIS

 

I have to laugh at the fact that Capitalism has reached such an all time high all over the world that it's become this easy to cash in on a product idea. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just funny how something like an insult to Bush is enough to boost sales to an entire market line.

Hey, good for the maker, he knows how to bring in the dough! Maybe the whole thing was a set up and marketing plan to begin with. Hmm...

 

I actually wrote a quick article about this, compared it to how Sarah Palin made her glasses a huge success too. It seems inadvertent media attention may be the best marketing strategy around.
