A comment --ZZZzzzz from Washington Post

Hi,

There is a report on Washington Post. It is about an American woman who got fired from her company because of a picture of her in which she was photoed flipped off Trump.

A reader simply commented "ZZZZZZzzzzzzz" below the report, but nothing else. What does that mean? Disapproved of the company's behavior?

Thanks!
