Seriously,what will they think of next? A mirror has been developed that makes you look happier. The idea behind the Happy Mirror is happy people are more likely to spend more money. My impression is just the opposite,it is unhappy people who spend more money trying (in vain) to make themselves happy,but I am not a marketing expert. The way the mirrors work is a camera tracks your reflection then adjusts the image to make you appear happier by subtly lifting the corners of your mouth and crinkling your eyes. There is debate over the ethics of this type of manipulation since it is not readily apparent (flashback to subliminal messages!). My first question is if they can make a mirror that makes you look happier,where do you sign up for one that makes you look younger?
