I should also mention that the characters in the games will only engage with each other via Facebook or Twitter.
Feeling especially snarky today.

Do you think that YOU could do a better job of deciding who should get a bailout and who should just get slapped? Well this is the webgame for you!
Players of the game, created by AddictingGames.com, are given one trillion play dollars with which to "rescue the US economy before total economic meltdown strikes.
In the game, homeowners and corporate CEOs pop out of a New York City skyline requesting taxpayer-funded handouts, and it is up to you to decide who deserves a hand out and who deserves the back of your hand.

"Sock and Awe" webgame based on George Bush shoe throwing incident is an internet smash!
Shoe-wielding Iraqi journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi, who was catapulted to international prominence after throwing his shoes at President Bush during a press conference in Iraq, is now the star of the latest in viral Web games.
"Sock and Awe" -- named after the military doctrine employed in the US operation to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq -- allows players to throw shoes at a figure of President Bush, as he ducks behind a podium.
Al-Zaidi missed both his attempts before being dragged off by Iraqi security forces, but players of "Sock and Awe" have a little more leeway -- you can keep slinging footwear for up to thirty seconds.
At the time of writing, the virtual President Bush has been struck in the face by 21 million shoes, the site indicates.
Sock and Awe also shows visitors a league table of "Bush-shoeing countries" -- and although the United States is number one, the top five also includes France, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
This story is just one of those amazing stories that never gets old.
You just know that in the decades to follow the end of George Bush's Presidency that the shoe throwing video will be played EVERY SINGLE time his name comes up. It will become the iconic image of George W. Bush. And it could not have happened to a more deserving fellow.
By the way if YOU want the chance to wing a shoe at Bush then just click right here and see if you have any more luck then Muntadar al-Zaid did.
