No kidding: Why a Japanese prefecture has introduced a law that makes laughing mandatory​


"Laughing is a pretty serious matter in this particular region of Japan.

As per a rule passed in the Yamagata prefecture in northern Japan last week, citizens are now required to laugh at least once a day.

[...]

The laughter rule states that Yamagata citizens “will deepen their understanding of the beneficial health effects of laughter and make efforts to shape mental and physical health through means such as laughing once a day.”

Workplaces have also been directed to create an “environment filled with laughter.”

Every month on the eighth, there is a “day of laughter” that should be celebrated even more, as per Wion News.

Members of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party introduced the new rule and passed it."

^^^ In Japan, conservatives passed this law. In America, the joke's on us! 🙁

Get out the nitrous.
 
I can do a really sarcastic "HA!" which would be ideal if someone told me that it was illegal not to laugh!
Also how long am I allowed to point at the person laughing that told me I had to laugh? Can I follow them around?
 
Comedy rules, standup, even scripted standup. Endorse it subsidize it. I have posted links to lots of it in this forum. I have given away tickets to standup comedy on my radio show, lots of times. I have even laughed on mic. Not a lot of DJs do.
