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.”
Idiots.
I tried to express my emotions silently, but they got triggered anyway. And I wasn’t even using my trigger finger.
Doing jazz hands or clapping sounds the SAME to a deaf person! Y’all elected someone named Shakira be worried about that.
They’re funny.
“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.
HAHAHAHAHA!
No, wait… give me a minute…
HAHAHAHAHA!
So, HAHAHA! what measures are they taking not to exclude the blind?
HAHAHAHAHA!
Aaaannnnnnnnd why do farts stink?
So deaf people can enjoy them too!
British kids nancing around in celebration? What a great way to end British history. Next up: Sharia law where their little nancing heads get cut off.
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.
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.
two words, jazz handers:
fuck off.
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!!”
For a laugh, find msNBC coverage of President Trump giving out a Teacher of the Year award last week…
Schnappy beats there.
Gifwerks dudes.
What about the blind? No consideration?
These ignoranuses will get out their Lego sets and say “close enough”!
Meanwhile the Blind will say “who wrote this shit”
how about a pair of Jazz Fingers?
Huh – my little cat does “jazz hands” all the time – and she has a brain the size of a walnut, too.
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.
