Student Union: Use ‘Jazz Hands’ Instead Of Clapping Or Face ‘Consequences’

DC:

Students in England were advised to use jazz hands instead of “whooping” and clapping to celebrate the election of a new student union president Thursday.

The National Union of Students advised students to wave their hands in the air so they’re considerate of deaf people when commemorating the election of Shakira Martin, the new president of the National Union of Students in Brighton, England, according to The Telegraph.

“No whooping, it does have a serious impact on some delegates ability to access conference,” said Estelle Hart, an elections committee member for the union. “Gentle reminder not to whoop.”

  1. “Everyone has a right to feel safe on the streets”? Um…so when the moslem invaders slaughter again, what do they recommend so as not to offend the jihadis? Silent screaming?

    England is finished. I’m glad I saw some of the pretty castles before they convert them to mega mosques.

  2. None of the phone-thumbing millennials wants to be bothered with clapping anyway. But the jazz hands excuse might calm the enraged Queen Shakira when her coronation is met with bored silence.

  3. You know, a great big, beautiful WWIII might not be such a bad idea if that’s what it takes to grow people the hell up. I’d be embarrassed to be part of that generation. I truly would.

  4. This bunch of nitwits probably gathered later, without a trace of irony, in a celebratory drum circle.

    Or a circle-jerk.

    “not jizz hands! JAZZ hands, I said!!”

  5. I think that using the jazz hands will be able to vary the expressions that are used to define the viewers interest or disapproval of the topic that is being discussed. I value the fact that students union is doing a lot for the students to participate in the discussions and decide whether they are going to approve or disapprove of some decisions that are being made at the education board this year. The new president must have a lot of courage to take the post because it requires a lot of responsibility.
