Samsung Dualview Myspace Camera

How egomaniacal have we become? Must we be in every photograph we take, and beyond that, must it always be a horrid squeezed together “arm held out looking at the camera” angle? Is it too much to say “Hey, can you take a quick picture for me?”

Apparently it is. We’re so damn self-important we have to have a camera that shows the picture on the front so we can see every shitty photograph starring ourselves as we take it. At least we haven’t made the Myspace mirror shot an official standard yet, but I’m not sure this is better. Aside from enabling terrible photography and egotism, this makes the dreaded “fat girl angle shot” all the easier, and I think we all know someone with a regretted Myspace hookup due to one of those.

Maybe I should just give up on this whole “quality pictures on the internet” thing, but I really don’t think pandering to the lowest common denominator is ever a good idea.
