To Whiten or not to Whiten?

I've been watching season one of the Remington Steele series of the 80's. This picture doesn't really show this, but this was before teeth whitening was the fad. 

It is refreshing to see what peoples teeth actually looked like before the masses started bleaching their teeth. I find this procedure jarring from the standpoint that it is so often overdone and is obviously a cosmetic enhancement. I've seen people whose teeth almost look translucent because they didn't know when to say when.

I also had a friend that did this when it was first fashionable who protested that it was her tan that made her teeth look whiter than usual. Yea, right. If you're going to do this, at least own up to it when you are called out. If you are not ashamed to do it, then why not fess up to it?

This American Life

One of my favorite radio shows is called This American Life. It runs on the weekends on various PBS stations. It recently decided to branch out into TV. You can watch the show on Showtime at 10 PM on Sunday. I have not seen the show but I listen to it on the radio regularly.

This is a short from the season two TV version (this year, right now). It is a story about a couple and how they remember the same event. An interesting take on relationships....
