Remember Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw both of his shoes at then-United States President George W. Bush in 2008?
If you don't, here is a GIF that will refresh your memory...
Fast forward to 2018, 10 years after the iconic moment, Al-Zaidi is now running for parliament in Iraq, which is set to hold its parliamentary elections on May 12.
Al-Zaidi's candidacy has been making the rounds online, with people expressing their excitement about the news and voicing support for the 39-year-old journalist.
Here's the "Shoeing Incident" in all its glory
"This is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq."
Known as the "George W. Bush Shoeing Incident of 2008", the incident saw Al-Zaidi throw one shoe after another at Bush during a press conference at the prime minister's palace in Baghdad, Iraq.
Al-Zaidi was working as a correspondent for Cairo-based Al-Baghdadiya TV at the time.
"This is a farewell kiss from the Iraqi people, you dog," Al-Zaidi yelled in Arabic as he threw his first shoe towards Bush.
He then tossed his second shoe, shouting, "This is for the widows and orphans and all those killed in Iraq."
Bush managed to dodge both shoes, while Al-Zaidi was wrestled to the ground by security personnel and taken away.
During his trip, Bush had signed a security agreement calling for U.S. troops to leave Iraq in 2011, eight years after the 2003 invasion he had led.
Al-Zaidi was subsequently imprisoned for nine months, but authorities released him earlier for good behavior.
Explaining his motive, the journalist later said:
"When I threw the shoe in the face of the criminal, George Bush, I wanted to express my rejection of his lies, his occupation of my country, my rejection of his killing my people."
He has kept a relatively low profile since then
Al-Zaidi, who holds a Masters degree in Media, left Iraq in 2009 and returned two years later. Since then, he has been mostly working at his non-profit organization, the> Al-Zaidi Foundation, which helps victims of the American occupation of Iraq.
"This foundation works on showing the whole world the occupation’s crimes in Iraq and the reality of the big destruction and ruin that occurred," the organization's website states.
However, he is now eyeing a seat in the Iraqi parliament as part of the "Sa'airoon" alliance.
Thanks to the "Shoeing Incident", news of his candidacy was met with plenty of positive feedback online.
