Racist Camera! No, I did not blink... I'm just Asian!
We got our Mom a new Nikon S630 digital camera for Mother's Day and I
was playing with it during the Angels game we were at on Sunday.
As I was taking pictures of my family, it kept asking "Did someone
blink?" even though our eyes were always open.
Sheesh! RACIST! :P
