Dear famous person,
If we want to be seen with you, we'll turn our backs on you.
Please don't be offended.
It's just that your fame isn't enough for us anymore.
We need to attach ourselves to your fame, so that we can post the resulting picture to Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat.
That way, we achieve our own sort of mini-fame. Which could be the maximal fame we ever attain.
Please forgive me for this missive to the stars.
There's a reason: this astounding picture posted on Sunday to Twitter by Hillary For America design lead Victor Ng. He credited the shot to the photographer currently working on the Clinton campaign, Barbara Kinney.
As Hillary Clinton stands on a podium and waves, not one of the throng in front of her seems to be facing her.
Instead, everyone has turned their backs and raised their phones in order to get a little of themselves -- perhaps just their hair or their upper forehead -- into the shot.
Ng offered this caption: "2016, ya'll."
One can surely forgive him for misplacing his apostrophe, as he gazed upon this human catastrophe.
Increasingly we prefer to be seen with each other, instead of looking at each other.
We live not to be there, but to be seen to be there.
So, dear famous person, please understand that it's all a show now. All of it.
This might be especially worth remembering should you be taking part in some sort of debate in the near future.
That video of Senor Tippytoes always cracks me up.
Trump’s tight grin looks like he’s trying not to laugh.
No liberal would ever win the Presidency if that block were banned from voting. Especially if we threw in older brainless, hippie hags for good measure.
Why is she standing on a box?
Are her shoes nailed to it, like a Barbie Doll, or what?
fascinating, sickening.
It's my "Heck you all" pose.
Wow, that dated hall looks like somewhere in Romania. And I love her little soapbox. Or is that the entire stage?
Looks like all liberal white women. No diversity there. Actually, it’s a complete lack of diversity.
It’s OK. They’re safe. For Hillary’s and their safety, she was superglued to the pedestal.
No you are not
Bwahahaha!
Illary is pulling a !jeb! in the debates...
Quite humorous actually — the selfies, the backs turned, the platform, the “blue” outfit with no stains...
Tell me again why we gave women the right to vote?
The Selfie Nation.
sad :(
Her legs look pretty skinny in that picture. Not as fat as they usually are.
Couldn’t take one if I wanted to... never had a cell phone, never will.
Not only have I never taken a selfie, but I’ve never even sent a text. Still have a flip phone, which I use exclusively for (rare) phone conversations.
It’s not “WE” it’s a bunch of silly narcissistic liberals!
Fortunately not all of America is like THAT..... I hope.
Skanks selfie with skanks...skanky.
NO!
