Selfies

I know. This cartoon is redundant. All selfies are inappropriate.

Actually, I have no problem with most selfies. Just the ones taken at inappropriate times, like the “sexy” selfies taken with kids in the background. Oh, let’s not forget the dudes who photoshop their muscles. That’s probably the most annoying. First, you take a picture of yourself with your phone in the mirror and then take the time to attempt to pump up your muscles on photoshop. These people deserve the ridicule that eventually comes their way on the selfie fail websites.

I was trying to think of ways to defend selfies. In the age of social media, with friends tagging pictures of you without your consent, it’s a way to control your image. You can share with your friends your experiences, your travels, etc, whatever.

Don’t people realize that camera’s have timers? If you’re going to take a selfie at least try to make it look like someone took a picture of you! I guess nobody carries cameras anymore because pictures always look better all grainy and low resolution taken from a phone. Is it that low resolution, grainy photos hide blemishes?

Selfies are vain but that’s okay because everyone’s a little vain. Blogs are the selfies of the mind (and artistic skills). So who are we to judge? Selfies are just an easy target (hence my cartoon).
