A recent study from the Ohio State University examined 800 men between the ages of 18 and 40. After the participants' answered questionnaires about their behavior and social media activity, researchers were able to determine the link between posting pictures of yourself and narcissistic behavior. The lead author of the study, Jesse Fox, said, "It's not surprising that men who post a lot of selfies and spend more time editing them are narcissistic, but this is the first time it has actually been confirmed in a study." He added, "The more interesting finding is that they also score higher on this other antisocial personality trait, psychopathy, and are more prone to self-objectification." Posting the occasional self-portrait is normal, but posting a constant stream of selfies may be a sign of mental illness. Or, it may just be a sign that some of us are spending way too much time with smart phones and computers.

Bad picture. The phone he is using is a flip-phone, and he is looking at the front of it (reading a text, most likely). Only more recent smartphones contain a front-facing camera.
Hope he takes a picture of himself with the city of Salisbury kicks him in the Ass
Common bore.
