Vice President JD Vance has called for a narrow exception to the First Amendment that would ban the numbers “six seven” permanently after children’s viral meme sparked his frustration.
The vice president recently remarked that during a church service, his 5-year-old child repeatedly shouted “six seven” ten times following Bible readings on page 66-67 of the missal. He added: “And now I think we need to make this narrow exception to the first amendment and ban these numbers forever.”
Meanwhile, In-N-Out Burger has retired the number 67 from its ordering system at select locations, skipping it when customers receive their order numbers. The chain also confirmed it has banned the number 69 in some ticket systems after children began anticipating and filming the trend.
Children admit they are intentionally engaging in the meme, which lacks a real meaning, but many adults have sought an origin story for the phrase. Dictionary.com designated “six seven” as its Word of the Year, citing a rap song by Skrilla titled “Doot Doot (6 7)” and potential connections to NBA player LaMelo Ball, who wears the number 67.
