this is going to make for some awkward moments for the casts of their various programs. How do you have dramatic dialogue if your cast cannot look at each other?

[Sirius Lee]

"DON'T LOOK AT ME!"

They’re gonna need to hire more Finns.

You know how to tell if you’re dealing with a Finnish extrovert?

He spends the entire conversation staring at YOUR shoes.

[ExGeeEye]

Yep, eight seconds for the left one...eight seconds for the right...

That must make staff meetings interesting, what with the lack of eye contact with people during discussions.

Staff meetings will (perhaps) be conducted via smartphones/tablets/PC screens, where an attendee will be allowed to look at the other speakers/attendees without any time limits.

One on one meetings and conversations will be conducted via face-time and Duo and Skype and other such smartphone apps.

All employees are to be given Netwits stopwatches to be commenced at beginning of giving or receiving staredowns.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Where isnthat photo of One huge checking out the young girl’s backside?

[Jeff Chandler]

Wasn’t this an episode of The Office?

[Mark was here]

Can’t look at Netflix for more than eight seconds.

The Obama’s get on board and all of a sudden stupidity ensues.

Netflix has reportedly banned workers from looking at each other for more than five seconds as part of its new anti-harassment rules.

microaggression theory, if implemented, could have a chilling effect on free speech

[wally_bert]

Lazy eyed people need not apply.

[wally_bert]

For Your Eyes Only will get eliminated too.

If I had any money I’d invest in whatever company offers cutting edge body cams.

No one will believe your story that ‘ nothing happened / no, I was not staring / I never told her a dirty joke ‘ in the very near future ( about a week from now ).

But with the right digital footage you might be able to save your professional life.

American society has completely lost it’s mind.

[TXBlair]

Well! This will make for the worst staring contests EVER!!!!

[TXBlair]

“Look away! Look away! Look away! Netflix ban.”

[unlearner]

The insanity of liberals has no limit. Unfortunately, they have infiltrated and contaminated everything with their madness.

[Fred Hayek]

Pensacola Christian College has these kinds of rules. Any physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, even incidental, results in expulsion. Looking at a member of the opposite sex is frowned upon, and is referred to as “making eye babies”. No, this is not one of those SJW indoctrination centers, it’s way off in the other direction, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist to the extreme. PCC even calls Bob Jones University a bunch of heretics.

the employees start wearing sunglasses inside at work
