Random neurotic thoughts...
If it takes 62 muscles to frown but only 26 to smile shouldn't we be wiping that smirk off our face? Why you may ask. Well, it's just a working theory of mind (actually just one of my random insane thought processes at work here) but if we frowned more and use more of our muscles, we'd be getting more exercise every day!
Think about it, the Health Ministry would have a ball putting a campaign like this together. Since they're constantly at their wits end trying to find ways to make M'sians a more active lot. They could call it 'Kempen Muka Masam' or 'Kempen Muka Cibai', though I doubt the last one would go very well on billboards and TV adverts...they could distribute badges of frowning smileys (an oxymoron, I know...) and use Najib's face on the campaign posters, coz that dude has one of the most unphotogenic expressions EVER.
The truth is 'Kempen Muka Cibai' has already been launched. In fact, it has been sucessfully implemented in the M'sian lifestyle and has become a part of our 'culture'. Yup, not smiling has become second nature to us all. The best example of KMC's success is when one walks into a government department to apply for those oh so important-but-impossible-to-obtain documents (Yes, NRD we're talking bout you!).
A few other worthy mentions include most but not all Maybank branches, Giant Hypermarkets, and just about every outlet in SgWang Plaza. Yup, these establishments are simply the best when it comes to practising good customer service cause we all know that NOT smiling makes perfect business sense...
So what are you waiting for ppl? Turn that smile upside down and lost a few pounds at the same time! And while you're at it move that lazy bum of yours to our ever VERY reliable and efficient National Registration Department to get your very own personal 'frowney' badges today! It'll only cost you RM5 for the badge, RM10 for the frowney sticker, and RM20 for the safety pin, that is if you manage to assemble it by yourself. Failing which you could ask for assistance from one of the LOVELY NRD staff who strangely always seem to have nothing to do except take 3 hour long lunch breaks and exchange muka cibais with you (of course). It'll cost you another RM50 for you to engage their services though, and another 6 months for the fully assembled badge to arrive at your house. Did I mention the postage charges as well? What, how else are the government gonna make money? I mean since they now can't charge a king's ransom for not having your IC on you they have to think of some other way to sustaing the countries economy right? Go figure.
