A collection of fails so fundamentally obvious that there can only be two explanations; Either the person did it on purpose or they had an episode and went 'full retard'.

Get ready for some self-inflicted portrait pretties, brought to you by both the joys of the digital camera & the sharing of information rapidly over the internets! In later life they may regret these pics being all over the web but, meh, who cares!
