"Leer" as in German for "vacuous"?
No : leer as in "to leer" = "look or gaze in a lascivious or unpleasant way", zu schielen auf Deutsch.
I was merely trying to poke fun at the vacuity of forced photo smiles. Clearly my attempt was a bit too far fetched. :)
Ah, sorry - I'm a real thicko. Nice translingual pun!
