A Self Absorbed Nation

Camwhoring (not a real word...YET) is no longer a trend. It's a way of life. The people of the world seem to be sharing the same hobby- producing countless self portraits; much thanks to the miracle of technology. (don't insult my intelligence by saying that you "enjoy reading" or "listening to music".)
Parties are hardly about enjoying the company, the drinks or even the music anymore. Instead, as soon as you walk through the door, out come the camera phones and digicams. And you (the spectator, not the participant) are forced to witness the sickening scenario of overly confident people whom really have nothing much to be confident about.
Yes, having confidence is in fact a good thing. But too much of it? That's an entirely different story. Personally, I really do not think much of my looks.(Ask anyone...) And so, I avoid posing ala Gisele Bundchen. However, the annoying bit is... I see girls (some as young as twelve years old) attempting "Vogue-worthy" shots of themselves. In my head I'm thinking "Oh no, she didn't!"
This paragraph is dedicated to those who are brave enough to show some skin, but seem to be unaware of the phrase "berani dengan membuta tuli".
Don't we all want to play dress up in outfits with plunging necklines and deep-cut backs? Newflash everyone. There's a reason CERTAIN people and not EVERYONE wears clothes (or lack of...) like that. No, I'm not being mean. I once weighed in at 91 kilos, so I'd be the last person to insult another full-figured individual. But sometimes the truth hurts. Watching a cow in Jessica Alba's bikini simply isn't flattering. Kudos to you for having the confidence to step out in it, but think about the rest of the world suffering from the optical trauma. Have mercy, I beg you!
Don't be mislead. Even the boys are doing it. Guys style their hair, take off their shirts and pretend to be Hrithik Roshan in 100% "Dhoom Machale" fashion. Hrithik is Hrithik because he's Hrithik. So don't bother trying.
Everyone's a camwhore. I'm not saying I'm not. I guess I've just noticed a few things. So yeah. Happy camwhoring, world! What else is there in life right?

camwhores think they’re so great,

trying to be somneone else is something I hate.

They always do it, they can’t deny,

But if you say so, they’re going to lie.

They think they’re gud lookers; they’re actually not,

I don’t care if they rot and rot.

Why don’t they just make friends the normal way?

Everyone else does, so why shouldn’t they?

They’re not special; they’re just like us,

All they do is boast and make a fuss.

They always think that they look the best,

And that is something I really detest.

I’m the person that’s making my stand,

I’ll say what I think; I don’t need a hand.

This is what I think; I’m here to tell

So every camwhore rots in hell.
