In September 2007 during a town hall forum, Andrew Meyer a University of Florida student, asked Sen. John Kerry (among other queries) if he had ever been a member of the Yale University secret society known as Skull & Bones. UF security personnel felt that Meyer was being disruptive and decided to forcibly escort him from the hall. The ensuing melee was captured on hand held video by members of the audience and found its way onto YouTube and other video sharing sites. The video quickly went viral and the story was picked up by the major networks.
The video caused such a sensation that when The Yale Book of Quotations released its list of the 10 most notable quotations of 2007, Meyer's plea, "don't tase me bro" was chosen as the top quotation of the year.
