Universal Grammar of JOY

http://www.balloonhat.com/

In 1996, Addi Somekh and Charlie Eckert began traveling to different places in the world to make balloon hats for people and take photos of them. The goal was to show people all over the world laughing and having fun, and to emphasize the fact that all human beings are born with the ability to experience joy. In total, they visited 34 countries and have over 10,000 pictures. Inside this web site you will find all sorts of photos and stories

Wow, I really like this site.

The weird thing is, I find that a lot of the people aren't actually smiling. Doesn't that go against the thesis of the experiment?

Maybe some people just really hate balloonhats. Or white people.

Gil, are you capable of leaving a comment here without invoking racism?

Don't get your kilt in a ruffle, you Scottish lush.
