Amateur self-portraits are often begrudgingly looked upon with rolled eyes, since the posers are usually captured in an unflattering funny light, but the Self Pop Tart Tumblr site take these portraits to a whole new level of hilarity. This Tumblr site swaps the camera phones used to take these photos with delicious and out-of-place Pop Tarts.
Created by Kevin Hanley, the Self Pop Tart Tumblr site shows just how ridiculous these types of self-portraits can be. Often superficial and always silly, social media profile pictures have spawned a generation who feels it necessary to share every little thing, including their buff bodies, new gold chains and even hilarious Halloween outfits.
