Eastwooding: Empty-Chair Meme Explodes After Actor's RNC Speech
The biggest story to come out of Thursday's conclusion of the Republican National Convention was not Mitt Romney's acceptance specch, but #Eastwooding.
Eastwooding being the Twitter hashtag for parodies, jokes and memes at the expense of acting legend Clint Eastwood's unusual, yet highly entertaining speech.
The 82-year-old debated an invisible Obama in an empty chair in what had to be the strangest endorsement of Romney all week, and the Internet went nuts.
Here's the original photo - angled so Invisible Obama still uses a teleprompter (subtly hilarious) - along with some of our favorite celebrity-based parodies:
Clint expressing utter disgust with Keanu Reeves' first term:
Clint debating Paris Hilton (basically an empty void of air):
President Obama actually showing up for the debate:
Clint debating the Princess Leia hologram from Star Wars:
McKayla Maroney is not impressed by the stunt (or most other things):
