Although this isn’t as bad as MySpace self-portraiture, whipping out your iPad as a goofy camera during a wedding is just the worst. The worst. This marriage is doomed.
I’ll never understand the psychology behind the iPad-as-camera phenomenon. We may never know — science can only penetrate the psyche so far. Do these people not carry a phone with them? Is it a bid for attention? A mental illness? Have years of amphetamine use rendered their hands so shaky that they can’t hold on to a normal-sized camera? You know, one that isn’t the size of an entire tablet?
Any responsible priest would have called off this ceremony. [@chadfoy via BuzzFeed]

Monday, November 14, 2011 at 10:24 AMSaw one at a wedding used to live stream the wedding to overseas relatives, though the guy using it in this case was trying to be as sneaky as possible with it.
