#101: Stop the Duckface Photos! AHHHH!!!!

People...ok, more like ladies...

Ladies, I beg you, please stop all the DUCKFACE pictures! It's really driving me crazy...I don't get it, it's not that cute - it's like Allergic Reaction meets Botox (eyebrows are often lifted in the pics)..., and I'm sure often times that goes along with someone else's fist in your face.

When I first saw someone's duckface photos back in the Myspace era, I thought it was pretty funny trying to imitate Adrienna Lima, Angelina Jolie, (i.e. ladies with a full lip) etc.  But now, it's an epidemic, and it won't stop...I try to avoid it...but it somehow keeps creeping up on me....

AHHHHH!!!

Well, there's an Anti-Duckface website already established called...you guessed it www.antiduckface.com

So on the real, I Googled the following: What was duckface origin?


...and here's what I found.
A. Inspired by Zoolander
B. Early symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis


And to expand on letter B because I was curious, here's an excerpt from a blogger on KnowYourMeme.com


Apparently, this is the expression made when girls hold cameras in front of themselves. It may be an involuntary response, as the combination of elevated, extended arm and tense forefinger on the shutter button may lead to tightened facial muscles. Occasionally, it may appear that the females photographed are, in fact, not holding the camera. In these instances, any hands pictured are likely to still exhibit the traits noted above (raised above shoulders, fingers tensed and/or flexed, see immediately below). It may also be a symptom of the most widespread epidemic of early amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
