"Pucker People"

I've long called them this for lack of a better term and because of my not-so-secret love of alliteration1. Plus, the title is rather descriptive: these are people who pucker, specifically, in pictures. Instead of smiling (or sticking their tongues out while throwing up the sign of The Devil like any normal human), these people feel they are best commemorated by pouting.

Two famous examples are the Olsen Twins, who can be hated on for more than one reason, I'm sure. In case you've been under a rock for the past decade or so (which is your right but also your problem), these young women can buy and sell you a few times over all because they, together, played one very annoying baby/toddler/child on "Full House". But today let's hate on them for this little nugget: the Olsen girls say the word "prune" right before a picture is snapped.2

So smug. So annoyingly smug.
Which reminds me...
speaking of smug:

1 Go ahead, hate on alliteration... But let me remind you, hating on alliteration means you hate most cartoon characters, Superman characters, and poetry.

2 You know it's true because this was on MSNBC. In fact it was also on every gossip blog back in June 2008.

Yes, we really do.

And soon we'll explain why.

At length.

In great detail.
