    This guy, donating his shoes to the GOP.
    I wonder if he even survived that day ...

    The same with the guy standing in front of the line of tanks in China. I wonder what happened with him.

    This guy (an Iraqi journalist!) did survive, though some accounts say he was severely beaten. Other accounts say he also was celebrated within his country after his 5 seconds of international fame.

    A lot of these don't conform to the original proposal.

    Famous in one day? As in, wakes up anonymous, goes to bed famous?

    My favorite part of this is GWB ducking the first shoe but getting right in position to take on shoe No. 2. I think our current president would have been on the ground shaking after the first one. (sorry, politics)

    Interesting thing about him: he always got his front row seat as payment for coming to the bingo hall early and helping set up the chairs t ringside.

    And let's face it, the Wonder Years went viral that night. Perfect product placement right after the Super Bowl.
