Biden’s ‘Big f—ing deal’ becomes web mania
By ANIFriday, March 26, 2010
Sydney, March 26 (ANI): American Vice-President Joe Biden’s f-bomb faux pas during Barack Obama’s historic healthcare reform signing ceremony has led to the emergence of a string of websites selling “f—ing big” merchandise.
In a comment intended to be private Biden had whispered into Obama’s ear: “This is a big f—ing deal.” However, his words were caught on camera and the clip received tens of thousands of hits on YouTube.
And now even Internet entrepreneurs are cashing in on it.
Websites like “thisisabigfuckingdeal.com” and “thebigfd.com” as well as several Cafe Press and Zazzle stores have turned up selling “This is a big f—ing deal” merchandise including T-shirts, mugs, badges, underwear, pooch parkers, ties, posters, stickers, magnets, key chains, trucker hats, aprons and even binders, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Numerous Photoshop contests have also sprung up with related image puns - for instance, “This is a big f—ing meal” printed on top of a picture of the world’s biggest hamburger.
One Internet user has set up a new Twitter account: “BigFnDealer”.
And now Biden has claimed Obama is not unhappy over his remark at the ceremony in the East Room of the White House.
He said Obama told him: “You know what the best thing about yesterday was? Joe’s comment.” (ANI)
