Sarcastic clapping is my favorite.
Looking for a way to express your disgust with Congress?
Do you enjoy sarcastic clapping? Then why not make a Slow Clap for Congress video?
I just did.
“When the debt deal goes through,” he mused on Twitter to what he describes as a fairly modest following, “can we start a meme where we all make videos of ourselves slowly & sarcastically applauding our politicians?”
That was the beginning of Slow Clap for Congress, what is at present a very basic website hosting Ashworth and a handful of other folks doing — well, you get the idea.
~snip~
“I think everybody’s responding to the fact that politicians are generally just behaving immaturely,” Ashworth told me today by phone, “and that’s just frustrating when there are so many things that we can have disagreements about that we can have in a mature way.”
[My Slow Clap for Congress video is after the jump]
Thanks a lot, Congress.

Tossing your Chanels on the coffee table with complete disregard…you really were fed up. ;)

Oh. Yes. Note to self: figure out how to use my cell phone camera and teach it to my husband.
It’s the “I am dead because you have killed me dead” look in your eyes that really does it. With the “YOU – you did this to me!” shakes of the head.
Oh sigh. Slow clap indeed.
ABL, you’re on Boing Boing!
Holy crap, she is!!
Oh girl. The jelus that I now haz is bigger even than the jelus I had back when you met Aasif Mandvi.

Haha! I am the “Ted” that’s immediately to your right on the slowclapforcongress website , ABL. I follow you over at Balloon-Juice. Funny that I ended up shoulder to shoulder with you clapping for Congress.
It’s a small world after all! :)
