# Bummed Out Photography
'The Happiest People Ever' Blog Has Quite a Misleading Title

This website’s title is a little misleading. Although it is called ‘The Happiest People Ever,’ one can’t help but notice that the people in the photographs posted look anything but happy.

I suppose the website title could be considered accurate, though. Anyone who takes a browse through these awkwardly comical pictures is bound to leave feeling like the happiest person ever.

**Implications** - Internet culture tends to collectively embrace schadenfreude. This photo blog pokes fun at people who look angry, upset or stern, juxtaposing these photos with [silly captions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zinger). Creative professionals can take advantage of this opportunity by infusing their products and [ad campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-flags) with subversive commentary and [dark humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-me-ai).
