internet wtf of the week: selfies

Today's "internet wtf of the week" are selfies.

We all know what they are. And if you try and say that you've never taken a selfie, I might have to retort and say that there's a very slim chance that I believe you. I actually think it may have made it into the oxford dictionary as an actual word. Nothing is sacred anymore.

So just a couple of housekeeping items involving taking selfies, for those of you who may need a little bit of fine-tuning in that area. First of all, let's try our best to keep the shower curtain out of the photo, or the messy room reflecting in the mirror. Nobody wants to know you took the easy way out and decided to stand in front of a mirror to take a photo of yourself. The number one strategy is to try and make the selfie look like a pro shot, so people will oooh and aaah and not make memes out of your photo instead.

The second rule to selfies is you cannot, by any means necessary, have any part of your arm showing in the photo. I know, some of you guys have "angles" and need to hold the camera above you to avoid looking like you have 3 chins. But there are definitely ways to create a pretty decent photo without looking like you're trying to take an aerial photo of yourself and all the shit that's all over your living room floor.

And finally, the last rule to selfies is try your best to ask people to take photos of you. Candid photos are always the most beautiful and sincere, and also the most hilarious. If you really, absolutely, NEED to take a selfie, then buy a mac and use photo booth, or some kinda webcam shit. It'll slow down the likelihood that your photo will become a meme.

Also, duckfaces in selfies. Sorry (actually, just kidding, NOT SORRY) ladies, but it doesn't matter what kind of setting you're in, it makes you look like a complete idiot. If you know what's good for yourself, take a second look at your photo and try your best not to barf.

Happy internetting everyone :)
