A phone app called "Rolling the Eyes" <反白眼> started gaining popularity that even celebrities began trolling with the app. Early adopter, Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明) had his share of fun, whoever he took a photo with could not escape the eye rolls, even his wife Angelababy (楊穎) fell victim to her husband. As the old Chinese idiom says, marry a chicken you follow the chicken, Huang Xiaoming's wife Angelababy, caring less about her goddess image followed her husband's footsteps and began earning praises for her eye-rolling skills! Many netizens even gave her the title of "The most successful example of the eye roll!" After the spark Huang Xiaoming ignited, many Chinese, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese celebrities were infected by the craze and joined in eye-rolling! Another popular celebrity, Jacqueline Chong (莊思敏) played with app and like Huang Xiaoming began trolling all her friends. The eye-rolling epidemic did not stop there, Taiwanese celebrity Dylan Kuo (郭品超) and Janel Tsai (蔡淑臻) also began using the app and he said: "I heard this is now the most trendy photo expression". Netizens praised him for being playful and also wrote "A group photo of a bunch of people, everyone is rolling their eyes, really hilarious!" With great eye-rolls there are those who will inevitably fail, not everyone is cut out to be great eye-rollers. Like Jiang Xin (蔣欣), who played Concubine Hua (華妃娘娘) in Mainland series Empresses in the Palace <甄嬛傳> and was originally crowned the "starter of rolling the eyes", played with the app a few days ago. But because she couldn't grasp the essence of the eye-roll, her pictures did not emit the power her eyes did in the series and was even laughed at by netizens, saying her eyes looked lifeless!

Like this? Reminds me of the app where it tells you your age based on the photo. That died down quickly..
The app needs to include the full facial expression to reduce the creepiness and/or complete the full blown STUPID effect imho.
