fad or future?

Shoe-throwing has become a popular gesture of protest and contempt since an Iraqi journalist pelted U.S. President George W. Bush with a pair of brogues in Baghdad last month.
My question is this: will it last? Because as a form of protest it strikes me as both hilarious and harmless. And we could all use a bit more of that, couldnt we?

I love this! The side of Miami's freeway had a bunch of shoes as well. It's a brillant protest really, and one I totally support!

Gives whole new meaning to the phrase "vote with your feet", doesnt it?
