Damn. This article made me LOL, spit coffee on my keyboard, vomit a little in my mouth and all those other computer-user things we do when we see or read something out- rageous on the Internet.
New Jersey Bans Smiling In Driver's License Photos
The state banned smiling in driver’s license photos because facial recognition software launched in January works better when subjects have a neutral expression, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Jeepers! How does one not smile in New Jersey? That accent, those funny, big, larger than life political and Reality TeeVee characters, The infamous New Jersey Housewives, Snooki...?
I do understand that in many situations being In Neutral works fairly well. But this is friggin' America! We're the happiest, most Fortunate and luckiest People on the Planet!! Right??
So, basically, Big Brother wants our coveted Voter ID cards (especially in NJ) to picture neutrality.
Well, I have driven on the New Jersey Turnpike many many times, and in reality, that highway corridor to the South is nothing to smile about,(It's far from the Highway to Heaven) but...
What's next? Big Brother will Insist on all criminals to wash their hands before they Lie, Cheat, Steal or Kill so their finger prints can be Read better?
And these days there sure ain't much to smile about, but Don't worry, Be Happy:)
Sigh. Only In America...
