TIKRIT, Iraq (Reuters) – An Iraqi town has unveiled a giant monument of a shoe in honor of the journalist who threw his footwear at former U.S. President George W. Bush.

The two-meter (six-foot) high statue, unveiled Thursday in former dictator Saddam Hussein’s home town of Tikrit, depicts a bronze-colored shoe, filled with a plastic shrub. "Muntazer: fasting until the sword breaks its fast with blood; silent until our mouths speak the truth," reads an inscription, in honor of journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi, who hurled his shoes at Bush and called him a "dog" at a news conference during the former president’s final visit to Iraq.

Zaidi has been held in jail in Baghdad since the incident, facing charges of assaulting a visiting head of state.

Fatin Abdul Qader, head of an orphanage and children’s organization in the town, said the one-and-a-half-ton monument by artist Laith al-Amiri was titled "statue of glory and generosity."

"This statue is the least expression of our appreciation for Muntazer al-Zaidi, because Iraqi hearts were comforted by his throw," she said.

What do you think? Do you like the idea of the monument (fittingly in the shape of a shoe) or not?

Apparently, Hershey’s bars aren’t the bestselling items of Hershey’s, but the peanut butter-flavored Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Wonder if they’ll ever change their name from Hershey’s to Reese’s.

Apparently, the image on the ceiling is a mural/huge poster in the smoking area - a product of the mind of Everest Brand Solutions and the Cancer Patients Aid Association for their anti-smoking campaign. Really smart advertising campaign, if I do say so myself.

Do you remember the awesome Honda commercial "Cog" released late ’90s - early 2000?

Did you know that it was actually a real-time shot, not a cleverly edited product? Granted, the ad was composed of two takes stitched together, but it was more of a space (and budget) constraint more than a form of "cheating". It took 606 takes before they could get it to the way it appears now.

Did you know that from 1939 to 1942, there was a undersea post office in the Bahamas?

The Republic of Vanuatu has revived the idea, and created an underwater post office that divers and snorkelers can go to send their waterproof postcards. A special flag floats above the site when there are postal workers present.
