Dear Purchasers of Advertising

[cheshirenoir]

Please, if you decide to put your photo in your advertisment, follow the following guidelines:

1. There is a reason the advertiser flinched when you suggested it. It's a bad idea.
2. If you still have to have your photo, go out and get a professional to take, maybe 50 photos of you and get him/her to choose the best photo, not you. They are paid to do this. They do this every day.
   
3. The local passport booth is not a professional photographer.
4. Get someone with Photoshop to clean up the photo.

Also try and avoid the following popular facial expressions:

1. "The Accused"
2. "Anally Suprised"
3. "Potential Mugger"
4. "Drunk"
5. "High"

Thank you for your attention.

You are quite correct.

Well if we're adding new categories, there's also:

7. "Picturing you naked."

and...

8. "Picturing your daughter naked."

You are so right! I saw one of those!

Occasionally you'll get an older gentleman bearing a dodgy mustache and a look I like to describe, together, as "Quick Fritz! Hide from the War Crimes tribunal!"
