10 Selfies Taken Moments Before Death

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

What little self-confidence and self-esteem one must have to feel the overwhelming need to obtain others' approval through perfect and sensational depictions of oneself?

Agreed. It's the sort of self adulation and approval seeking that makes people post new threads. pointing people to a post they made on another thread, that they were worried wouldn't be properly appreciated. :ROFL:

This reminds me of my girl friends story about her uncle. He used to salvage uxo mines and mk48 bombs for 20 something years. He would set them off in the river as a quick easy way of fishing. Well 1 day he found a bomb from a B52. It was old rusted and just not in good shape. As he was rigging it...BOOM!! My gfs mom was picking chunks of him out of a tree.

I never take selfies, only self portraits.

Furthermore, if you like photos of naked people having sex then it's pornography, if I like it it's erotica.

Ah! a man of exquisite taste who can make the difference between crude visual appeal to hormones and sensual erotic stimulation of the mind.

LoL, well the same pics are found around the net with the same descriptions, ranging from 8-10, or maybe more... Nobody can agree what to call this damn "article."

#10 is nothing but a story with a lame fucking picture attached.

I like the term masturbatory aid.
I learnt that at an art gallery.

Darwin awards was already in use?
How about cautionary tales of narcissistic visual confirmation or pics or it didn't happen in the vernacular?
