Binders Full Of Women Memes, Mitt Romney Presidential Debate Remark Becomes Internet Sensation (PHOTOS)
Just when Americans thought Mitt Romney's "Big Bird" remark at the previous debate couldn't be topped, the Republic hopeful outdid himself.
According to Internet reports, the winner in the 2012 Presidential Debate between Mitt Romney and President Obama was the Republican hopeful's remark about "binders full of women."
"I went to a number of women's groups and ... they brought us whole binders full of women," Gov. Romney said about his search to find more women to work with in his Massachusetts cabinet. Romney was responding to a question about workplace inequality.
Within minutes after Romney made the comment, the catchphrase became an internet sensation.
Several people created a Facebook and Twitter account with the phrase and a website went live on Tumblr doing the same. The media accounts were launched so critics would have a platform to sound off on the cheeky remark. The Romney Binders Ful Of Women Facebook page garnered more than 193,000 likes and countless online memes. The Twitter account @RomneyBinders reportedly acquired 32,000 followers in two hours.
"Binders full of women cost 77 cents, while binders full of men cost $1," tweeted @SharkJumper.
"I was really disappointed to learn tonight that Massachusetts keeps its female workers in binders. That's not cost efficient at all," tweeted @GPappalardo.
"I seriously can't take Democrats seriously when they try to use Big Bird and binders to try and make fun of Romney," tweeted @benstoic.
The Binders Full Of Women Tumbler website offers a wide range of memes-comedic visuals that were posted by critics with creativity to poke fun at Romney's remark.
