seriously

alright, so there is the whole hipstamatic iphone app thing.  It really does make the camera on the iphone into something cool, the pictures can turn out super cool looking and the app does really cool things when it comes to fucking with the light in the pic.  But come on; to all the people posting hipstamatic pictures on your facebook who think they are way cooler than all of the people who take regular pictures and post them, you're probably not.   Putting pictures on facebook is a bit of ego-visual-masturbation.

I'm all about posting pictures online, but do you really need to include "hipstamatic" into the title of the album you put them in? It's pretty obvious what they were taken with, and it's also pretty obvious you just want to post pictures of yourself and your friends online. You're just as cool and your friends are just as cool in a regular picture as you would be in a normal picture.

Pictures of recent meals used to be what I thought was lamest, now it is albums titled "my hipstamatic prints".

When the eventual transformation of hipstamtic into passematic happens will you all take down the pictures, or will you leave them up knowing that people are no longer impressed by your app usage?
