Hope you guys are
having a good week so far!
For this edition of
Throwback Thursday, I wanted to introduce Ms. Mona al-Baheiri, otherwise known
as “shut up your mouse Obama” lady.
Basically, during the
2014 election in Egypt, a news reporter happened to interview Ms. al-Baheiri on
the street, and she proceeded to offer her opinion on Obama’s apparent supportof the Muslim Brotherhood during the coup. This interview exploded online all over the Middle
East, and apparently became a common appearance on internet memes around the
world.
The sad truth about
all these memes is that people are apparently making fun of her non-native
English, which is hard for me to laugh at. Some Egyptians were even embarrassedby her, saying she gave Egyptian women a bad rep. But, no matter what, there is
something undeniably endearing about her sassy perseverance.
And someone made a
remix, of course.
