Life is tough for world leaders. You can be good at your job and respected by your constituents, and the internet will still find a way to make you look ridiculous. In this case, Justin Trudeau gave a press conference in which he explained the benefits of face masks by saying it prevented you from “speaking moistly.”
“(A mask) protects others more than it protects you, because it prevents you from breathing or speaking moistly on them,” said Trudeau. He quickly followed up by saying: “what a terrible image,” after he realized the visceral reaction people have to that word.The turn of phrase was odd enough that it became in instant meme. Brock Tyler Auto-Tuned it into a viral song that’s a guaranteed ear worm. If you are averse to Auto-Tuned politicians, Adam Carter made a nice acoustic version. Good luck getting this tune out of your head. (via Metafilter)
