Sometimes we're so tired (read: lazy) that we can't even reach for the TV remote, or we're so lost in thought that we don't even know what exactly we're watching and what programs we're aimlessly switching between. What if the enjoyment of watching television became mandatory? Smile TV it's a very special TV, because it only works if you laugh... it's powered by a human smile!
