Ever since McKayla Maroney made her “not impressed” face while receiving her silver medal at the Olympics last August, the face has been replicated all over the internet as a popular internet meme, on Late Night with David Letterman and, this week, in a place most of us would be super impressed to visit–The White House. Maroney was on her first official visit with the Fierce Five, says NBC (the gold-medalist gymnasts were touring when the rest of their Olympic teammates met President Obama this fall).
Not only did Maroney do her infamous expression during the visit, though, she got President Obama to join in. In fact, he’s the one that suggested it: “He said, `Let’s do it together.’ We took a picture and now it’s everywhere,” Maroney told the AP.
Maroney prefaced the photo release with this tweet, says Mashable.
Thus, the internet was primed and ready to help the above gem of a photo to go viral, and it’s no surprise that it did!
