Sometimes science gives us things we don’t need. Other times, science gives us things nobody thought we needed originally, that are really quite horrifying — and why would you even THINK OF INVENTING THAT? This is one of those things. This is a hat, that if you’re not smiling, pokes you with a metal spike. Until you smile.
This reminds me of one of the jobs I had growing up. I worked as a kiddie bartender for Medieval Times. My job was to make sure fourth graders didn’t hit a falcon with dinner plates. In addition, I worked with crazy women, who were all fired before I was, and one would hit my head with a Corona bucket if she thought i looked too sad, to cheer me up.
This is that same principle. Only the crazy woman is a hat, the Corona bucket is a metal spike, and your head still gets battered. The whole thing is a design project by Lauren McCarthy, to train you for, “Improved Social Interacting”. Which means, Big Brother is watching you, and will poke your head with a metal spike. Smile more. What have you got to be upset about?
No word when the hat will go on sale, but I think I’ve found a stocking stuffer for my sister, who consistently frowns.

is this like a constant smile sort of device, or more a smile once every minute sort of device. and how sharp is the spike? this could be a good thing
