The Fist Bump: might all these people be terrorists?
65
With all the controversy pushed by Fox News and others about the fist bump that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle shared on stage, I thought I would point out that a lot of people have used this "terrorist jab."
Does that mean that the United States has been taken over by terrorists? Should we shield our children from these dangerous people? Oh my, what are we to do?
There is far too much fist jamming going on in sports, politics, entertainment, and even in the military! Where is the online petition? Why are these people still allowed to appear in public? Why are they not all in Gitmo? Inquiring minds want to know!

Ohhh, yeah. Almost as scary as The Case of The Missing Flag Lapel Pin!
Another example of things being taken too far. Hopefully this hub will help some web traffic learn otherwise. Very entertaining pictures!
lol.
I'd missed the story, but no surprise to hear it was led by the dreaded Fox TV, who are to journalism as Mugabe is to Statesmanship. Nice picture set.
I hear that the US military will be phasing out the salute, to be replaced by the fist jam. Soldiers are in danger of getting arthritus and being unable to fire their weapons...
Good hub Susan. I like the new you pic too. regards Zsuzsy
i didnt even know what a "bump" was before. i guess now i do!
I wrote an article about this on another website a few weeks ago, when it was just the media making a big deal about a common thing, but I had no idea it had gotten this huge. I thought it was ridiculous how many credible news sources reported on this and this quote "Not only does the intimate gesture between Michelle and Barack Obama, exchanged on Tuesday night in front of thousands of fans, indicate that they are sort of hip; it also tells us that they love each other and probably still have sex." was the dumbest thing I read on the subject and it came from New York magazine. It wasn't an intimate gesture, but just something black people do which is only unusual because some people aren't used to seeing it.
Fist pump? Oh, my! What is this world coming to? By the way, isn't "Fox News" an oxymoron?
And most of the Fox commentators are morons.
Yes Mr. Torpey you are correct. Fox News is merely a PR outlet for the ultra right wing.
And you know what they say about Canadians? We'd better watch out! Canada is closer to the US than Brooklyn is to Manhattan!
Everybody do the bump! Excellent hub!
remember that song, Do the Locomotive?" LOL I loved this hub, don't we get caught up in the silliest worries. I thot the fist bump was kinda cute. You could tell by the looks on their faces it was a moment between them. Geeze, Louise, come on -- the media pumped this one up...are they that badly in need of news? this was snooze news, eh?
thanks for the chuckle...as alarming as our ridiculous fears can be...
The fist bump or "punching it in" as we call it is just a quicker cooler alternative to shaking hands. Less germs on the back of your knuckles I guess.
That was a silly issue and it made the people that brought it up look like idiots. That's good because they were idiots.
I worked in a law firm a few years back and one of the younger lawyers was constantly putting his fist toward me. I had absolutely no idea what it meant or what I was expected to do. Even after he explained my part in the business, it took me weeks to remember my response to this unorthodox greeting.
Must say that I like DJ Funktual's comment (above) about germs. Now *that* carries some weight with me and suddenly makes 'fist bumping' seem like a genuinely good idea!
I never listen to anything that comes from FOX. If they reported the sky was blue,..I'd have to go look,..LOL. I enjoyed your hub !!! (Bump)
