Scientifically known as Intentional Facial Distortational Permanence (IFDP), Facial Freezilitus occurs most commonly among children 6 – 8 years of age who consistently disregard the commonly dispensed parental wisdom of, “Don’t make that face or it’ll freeze that way!” Sadly, each year 54,028 children and adults contract Facial Freezilitus. For children the impact is devastating. Countless class photos are retaken, ridicule of John Merrick proportions shapes their identity development. While for adults the damage is no less tragic. Adults with Facial Freezilitus face economic and social obstacles that often impair their daily lives. With the inability to keep a straight face, those with Adult Onset IFDP are unable to work at funeral homes, endure facial discrimination and rarely, if ever, form healthy intimate relationships.

Dr. Harvey K. Scrunchems, Senior Vice President of Gooficilogical Services, Emeritus, and Adult Onset IFDP sufferer, has acknowledged Goofyface.com’s responsibility to educate the world on how to goofyface wisely and with caution.
