is it horrible to be a little put off by really gummy smiles? i.e. when someone has a huge smile and you see a 3-1 ratio of gum to teeth.

or maybe i’m just being disgusted because i just watched two hours of nyc prep and i want to rip out my eyes. this was, of course, followed by watching apparently four hours of stupid “surprise first wedding” dance videos on youtube. things i learned from that:

1. if you’re going to go one of those surprise “oh we’re dancing to etta james and then you hear the record EEEEEEAAAZZZZZ stop”, please act surprised. a haphazard hand thrown up in the air doesn’t make it believable or good. it’s like acting. if you can’t do it, don’t.
2. don’t choose a song that makes you look stupid, bigoted, or a big horrible stereotype.
3. this evolution of dance stuff is OLD. it’s not unique if every other couple is doing the same exact thing.
4. if you’re going to do a dance number, put in the effort and hire a choreographer and have some vague dance ability. so many sad dancers make so many one-starred videos.
5. if i see the apache dance one more time, i am going to go assassinate the incredible bongo band. oh, and the dude who played carlton on fresh prince of bel air.
6. why try to be a viral video? also, why bother putting the video on the internet if you’re not going to be prepared for really horrible comments. and a ton of “white boy can’t dance” comments. this is to be expected.
