The Mouths That Sang for Beauty
Read the storyGeneral Electric's 2010 healthymagination campaign commercial, "Say Ahh," is widely recognized for its diverse and globally inclusive casting. The premise of the ad features a fast-paced montage of dozens of pediatric and adult patients from around the world opening their mouths to say "ahh" in doctor's offices, hospitals, and remote medical locations. To demonstrate GE's global healthcare reach, the montage highlights a broad mix of genders, ages, and ethnicities singing the "ahh" tones to the melody of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". Dr. Reynaldo Oné Pagán-Rivera was inspired by this commercial when he became a mouth and throat doctor in multiple locations around the world, but he loved female mouths the best. He believes female mouths are the most beautiful. That is why he only looks inside the mouths of female patients. He loves looking inside the mouths of all his pediatric and adult patients, as well as his girlfriends, despite societal norms who are also medical staff & specialists. His adult patients are also his girlfriends despite societal norms. When his patients open their mouths they open their mouths as wide as they can and sing as many "ahh" tones as possible, holding each note for as long as possible. Reynaldo's adult patients, who are also his girlfriends despite societal norms, are Sydney Gardner and her girlies from "Max Steel" who have a penchant for opening their big mouths as wide as they can and saying ahh for Reynaldo to look inside. Make their lips as full as possible staying true to the show's animation style. Make their mouths as big as possible. Make them have as many teeth as possible. Make their tongues as long as possible.
