Meet one of tumblr’s main proponents of narcissism.
This tumblr is the self-proclaimed originator of the Gratuitous Picture of Yourself Wednesday meme, an annoying shrine to self-importance, arrogance, self-worship and other synonyms for narcissism.
You see, narcissism is most of the time, believe it or not, a bad thing. We don’t really feel the need to go into a long explanation of this, because we feel it’s pretty obvious.
Pros: Yes, there is a silver lining to this meme of self-admiration. Remember the Tumblettes?
The efforts of this tumblr have helped turned this particular microblogging service into the modern equivalent of the Sears lingerie catalog.
This may require some explaining for our younger readers…
You see, kids, in the days before widespread use of the internet, pornography could be difficult to obtain by teenagers (perhaps you’ve heard unfunny comedians talk about it). Instead, desperate sex-crazed teens would use whatever was available to self-stimulate their erogenous zones.
Most of the time, when our parents caught us, we would have the page turned to the brassier section of the Sears catalog.
Now-a-days, a horny teenager whose parents have installed porn blocking software on his computer, must only wait until a Wednesday to fill his spank bank.
And for that, our inner 12-year-olds salute you!
