How to Have a Killer Photo-Ready Smile

We've been lied to for decades: All this time people have been encouraged to say, "Cheese" in front of the camera, but according to one video, it's the best way to look bad for a photo.

YouTube user Pleated Jeans explains how saying the word actually screws up your mouth into an awkward position, making you look odd in photos. (No wonder your Facebook profile pics never get any likes!)
