A friend from Europe came to stay with me for two weeks and he was
shocked by what he said is the enormous importance that Americans
place on smiling. And teeth. And teeth whitening! He said Americans
are a bunch of smiling idiots. I guess living in the US one gets used
to it and doesn't notice it as much. But the teeth whitening thing he
said was the weirdest and I guess I'd have to agree. Even I have
noticed the unbelievable amount of teeth whitening commercials on TV.
I just couldn't explain to my friend why American culture is so
obsessed with teeth and smiling. Any ideas?

Well then. Show them your European superiority by wiping the smile off their
face by showing what
a spiteful, hateful, anti-American bigot you are! If you are disturbed by
smiles or white teeth then you are
simply disturbed.

Maybe we don't want to have the nasty looking teeth that
most Europeans seem to have? Ever see news reports from
France, and look at the teeth on those folks?

I've been reading a bit, and have found that the US smiles are apparently
generated by the recent election coup by the Democrats

Do you know how people who are driven insane suddenly have a calm and
smiiley
exterior just before they go apeshit on you? That's what it is. Just
kidding/"kidding".
