George W Bush fends off shoes in new viral computer game

An Iraqi journalist's shoe-throwing attack on George W Bush has been immortalised in an online video game called Bush's Boot Camp

In the game, players take on the role of an armed secret service agent who has to shoot shoes out of the air

Players of Bush's Boot Camp take on the role of a gun-toting security agent, and must shoot shoes out of the air before they can hit the hapless president.

Television reporter Muntadar al-Zaidi was tackled to the ground by Secret Service personnel yesterday after he started to throw his shoes at Geroge W Bush during a press conference in Iraq. The footwear missed the president, who ducked just in time, but Mr Zaidi was bundled from the room yelling: "This is a farewell kiss, you dog," at the President.

Footage of the attack has already been viewed more than half a million times on video-sharing site YouTube, and the viral computer game is proving popular with internet users.
