Have you ever noticed in old pictures no one is smiling? Can you imagine Mona Lisa smiling in her portrait? I bet she had some fucked up teeth! That’s because back then there weren’t any dentists, or they were just really expensive so no one could afford them. People only smiled back in the day when they were actually happy! Then dentists had to come along and ruin everything by giving people nice teeth. Nowadays it’s standard for everyone to stop and pose with a big smile for a picture, no matter what they are doing. And if you refuse to smile the person taking the picture calls you out like you’re some kind of freak. Even infants know when they see a camera to just instantly start smiling, what the fuck is up with that? It’s like impossible to get a candid photograph of people these days without setting up hidden cameras. Although this idea is kind of hot, it probably breaks some laws in some states. Here’s a scenario which I’m sure most people have encountered: You and your friends are at an amusement park, waiting in line for one of the rides. You’ve been standing in this line for about an hour and a half. It’s hot, you’re tired, and you’ve run out of things to talk about. Someone pulls out a camera and decides to take a picture. Immediately everyone groups together and puts on a big smile, *click*, everyone goes back to their normal long faces and complaining about the smell coming from the trash can over there.. People today even smile in pictures taken at funerals! I think this has to change, so I think today, March 4th, should from now on be “Don’t smile unless you are actually happy” day, or at least “Kick your local dentist in the groin” day, still haven’t decided which one rolls off the tongue better.
