Winsome
That smile is. Especially surrounded by so many sourpusses.
Hey guys
I think there's a woman drowning right next to the pretty girl.
The device is so effective...
It's head and shoulders above the rest.
Two Palookas
While most folks will be commenting on Gidget, I wonder what's up with the two palookas she's smiling at. Especially the lower one with the Moe Howard haircut and what looks like a flotation device behind his neck. The other guy seems rather serious. Perhaps they are directing a publicity demonstration to advertise their new product. They picked the right cutie to do it!
Misapplication
Perhaps the device should be used on the kid on the left.
