Did Tabloids cross the line in covering Obama "Selfie-gate" photos?

[enhanced_deficit]

Not a fan of disgraced SWC ... but to be fair did these tabloid attacks on neocons planted drone king went too far?

To be dvil's advocate, idiots doing idiotic things is not really news.

They focus on this to distract from the actual terrible things that Obama, the administration, and the government at large is doing.

But still, I look at this sort of thing and smile cause...

Fuck em.

[enhanced_deficit]

That is not a far fetched approach.

What do you call a tabloid that doesn't 'cross the line'?

They're taking pictures of themselves. Big deal! There are real issues going on in this world and it's not the fault of some tabloids.

you can kinda tell a guy's depth by how differently he acts around a woman compared to man. neither rand nor ron acts much differently, always nearly the same smile and same gesture/demeanor

[muh_roads]

So "selfie" is a thing now?

Ignorance is bliss.

SWC drone king does act weird around women sometimes.
Had read somewhere that he suffered from some complex and was pretty dumb despite common perception.. but imo he is probably just a hustler trying adjust to environment he has been handed.

Man poses for selfie, accidentally shoots self

A 21-year-old Mexican man dies after a gun goes off as he reportedly posed for a selfie. Unfortunately, he's not the first to lose his life attempting snap a selfie while toting a gun.

August 4, 2014 1:33 PM PDT


In these modern times, everyone -- even presidents -- often takes selfies to post on Facebook or Instagram. Some people like to express their strength by posing for a selfie with a gun. Even police chiefs do it (http://www.cnet.com/news/police-chief-suspended-for-facebook-pic-with-gun-toting-woman/). But when put together, guns and selfies can have tragic consequences.
Oscar Otero Aguilar, 21, from Mexico City apparently wanted to pose for a selfie with a gun. As Mexico's Excelsior reported (http://www.excelsior.com.mx/comunidad/2014/07/29/973328#imagen-5) last week, Aguilar borrowed the gun and was said to have not known it was loaded. Local police suggested that he and his friends had been drinking, said the report.
