Self-Indulgence and the BIGGEST SELFIE of all time

Take a look at this stupid picture. Can you believe it's the record-breaking most-Tweeted photo OF ALL TIME?

This "SELFIE" (ugh) of self-absorbed pseudo-stars (how many can you name) has had over 2.7 million retweets and nearly 1.4 million favorites. And what WAS the most-retweeted Twitter post before this study of egomania hit Twitter? It was a photo of President Obama after winning re-election. That one only got 778,000 retweets. After all, he's just the President, and he didn't have the peculiar-faced Meryl Streep hanging over his shoulder, or metrosexual Kevin Spacey peeping out and photobombing him.

Such is our star-obsessed ridiculously low level of "entertainment" and "amusement."

PS, Samsung has promoted themselves relentlessly with Ellen (she Tweeted that she gave away Samsung phones to everyone in her audience...something you'd expect from the "Ghost Opera" who does every stale gimmick daytime TV hosts have done before her). The company has happily gotten a LOT of buzz...the company is always mentioned or even given a photo credit by Internet websites that used the photo.

So, hey, next time YOU are at the Oscars, surrounded by stars, and get grizzle-faced gorilla-armed Bradley Cooper to help you with a selfie, make sure YOU buy your phone from a ruthless scummy evil company that steals most of their ideas from Apple and sells the knock-offs cheaper.

If you don't know every breathlessly fab asshole in that photo...Neither do I.

Am I really Mr. Alienation, or is there something obscene about THAT PHOTO being breathlessly tweeted by literally millions of Internet peons? It's such a good photo? What's the fucking attraction here? That so many great stars are pushed together for a photo op? This isn't the fucking "Sgt. Pepper" album cover. We've already seen many a bad picture of homely Meryl Streep, and bland-faced Kevin Spacey. That's not the CUTEST picture possible of Brad Pitt, and whoever the blacks are, they will be forgotten by next year. Ellen? Who the hell wants to see her nauseating puss? (By puss, I mean FACE). Bradley Cooper? Is that it?

The rest are pretty blurry, but all of 'em sure like showing off their dental work, don't they?

They are STARS...we must worship the STARS...and this kind of WORSHIP of STARS who are hardly in the heavens, is just more proof that there is no God, and the substitutes are piss poor.
