‘Eastwooding’ becomes new Twitter craze

Tebowing? Planking? So, so yesterday.

No, the newest Twitter craze is called “Eastwooding,” named for Clint Eastwood’s bizarre, unscripted conversation with an invisible President Obama – represented by a chair – at the Republican National Convention Thursday.

Following the “Dirty Harry” actor’s speech, people took to Twitter to snap photos of themselves “Eastwooding,” hurling their pent-up angst at empty chairs.

Some users “Eastwooded” with beach chairs. Others got angry at patio furniture and baby seats. Benches and rocking chairs were also blamed – for the economy, for everyday problems, for anything, really.
