If You Don't Smile, This Hat Will Poke You In The Head!

Filed Under: Wacky, Tacky & True Fashion Smashion

Looks like we found Kristen Stewart's Christmas present!

This hat, which creator Lauren McCarthy calls the Happiness Hat, will make you turn that frown upside down. And maybe make you scream a few four letter words in the process!

Here's how the hat works:

"An enclosed bend sensor attaches to the cheek and measures smile size, a servo motor moves a metal spike into the head inversely proportional to the degree of smile. Through repeated use of this conditioning device you can train your brain to smile all the time. The device runs on Arduino."

That sounds painful! If this isn't cruel and unusual punishment, we don't know what is.

We're sure many people would rather hear their nagging mother tell them to smile rather than get a metal spike in the head!

Watch the clip (above!) to see the hat in action!

What do U think of the Happiness Hat???
