The state of Virginia is banning smiling at the DMV. (Insert Punch Line Here) As if anyone ever smiled about heading to the DMV anyways! It is true, to help a facial recognition software program the state is eliminating smiling for your drivers license picture. When I got my license in Indiana they told me the same thing, just don’t smile. Sounds unAmerican to me, but whatever.
This headline, however, has made me think of other unnecessary headlines we could read one day.
Washington DC bans white people from anywhere but NW
Indiana weather frustrates local weather forecasters
North Carolina bans street lights
NBA leery of good officiating
MLB bans accountability
NFL discourages veterans from walking after age 50
Church of the Nazarene rules against the Lambada
Liberty University gets rid of Democrats (Oh wait that is a real headline from this week)
President Obama orders Bush presidency struck from records
Any headlines you want to add?

Um… Did you know that our very own state of Indiana has done the same thing? No more smiling for ID’s, including your driver’s license.
I saw it on Twitter this past week, but don’t remember the news source.

Yeah, i actually mentioned that in my post. When I got my Indiana license they told me not to smile. It wasn’t difficult.
