Bush shoe attack

So the al Baghadadiya reporter is in custody and there are demonstrations in Sadr City to release the hero. Bush himself says it was most humiliating for Mr al Zaidis Iraqi colleagues. Yes probably.


It reminds me when a production company called Strix was recording a new humor programme for SVT called "Balls of Steel". Their blonde reporter had a fake microphone that sprayed water - and she sprayed the prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt at a movie opening. Also then the Secret Service was very slow. They did not even wrestle her down (it could have been acid). 

The fake reporter, Hanna Wilenius, was convicted for Molestation according to criminal law and fined the equivalent of USD 3000. It was not an act protected by the Swedish constitution and SVT reporters were very upset since the good name of SVT news hade been tarnished. The Prime Minister gave testimony in court saying she was carrying a trustworthy microphone logo so he thought it was something important she was going to ask.

The programme never aired on SVT, it was bought by another channel and quickly discontinued.
