The Stabby Hat Posted: 4 weeks ago by suebe
Under most circumstances, a metal spike jabbing you in the head is not likely to elicit a smile. Unless, of course, you’re wearing the "Happiness Hat" created by designer Lauren McCarthy.

She obviously hasn't done enough research: Studies have *also* shown that those who have to continuously hide their emotions (such as flight attendants, for example) report a much higher degree of stress.
We aren't made to continually put on a happy face, to the point of denial of our true feelings.

Her smile doesn't look very genuine and it looks like she has a pained expression.
The first time that thing jabbed me in the head it would piss me off and the thing would go flying...
And probably poke someone's eye out.

Why would anybody want to be happy all the time?

Even worse, why would anybody want to FAKE being happy all the time?
That's depressing...Forcing a smile sometimes is good, but smiling fakely just means you fake emotions, and that's not healthy.

This isn't new. My wife knitted one for me years back. Except the spines didn't stab you in the head and it wasn't a hat, it was underwear. But other than that..

"An MIT grad now studying at UCLA, McCarthy said she was inspired by research that shows even a forced smile can intensify positive emotions in people."
How did this person graduate from MIT... and where is this mickey mouse research?
She could be right though! If I see someone forcibly smiling while someone holds a gun to their head it'll make my day ... cause, you know, she was smiling.
(pardon the pun)

I am amazed that no one has yet seen the true insidious nature of this hat.
Mark my words. Within a year, the UK government will distribute these to all citizens and then use their extensive CCTV system to ensure that they are worn at all times.
From there it spreads.
