My idea for this news post was about how gapped teeth were becoming the in thing and I was going to have an interview with Micheal Strahan and Anna Paquin about the phenomenon with medical notes by Hal Antwerp.
I started writing and thought to myself, "I really need some good pictures of gap tooth people." I head over to Google and start typing in 'gap,' low and behold the auto-fill's number one search is 'gap teeth trend.'
Are you fucking kidding me. A conversation and a joke turn out to be something absurdly real. Reading through some of the articles I learned that people are paying to have their teeth gapped. Paying real money to have something that as far as I can remember was a source of ridicule and stunted social interactions. Little Gap Toothed Johnny wasn't getting picked first for dodge ball or getting married on the playground in second grade. No, he was getting pummeled with playground balls and being forced to eat beetles while the girls laughed at him.
Seriously America, can't we have better trends. What. The. Fuck.
