The Smile That Ate New York
Just minutes after Joe Biden flashed his kleig-light-white teeth during Rep. Ryan's remarks in the vice presidential debate, his smile launched a volley of taunts. Parody twitter accounts including @GrinningBiden ("My mouth says gaffe. But, my grin says win!"), @LaughingBiden and @BidenSmirk were created. Animated GIFs of Biden grinning and throwing up his hands hit the Internet, as well as the usual photos with snarky sayings. #ThingsThatMakeJoeBidenLaugh also showed up as a hashtag -- a sample tweet: "#ThingsThatMakeJoeBidenLaugh...23 million out of work."
