Photo shopping is safer.

Good riddance for stupid decisions. Are we supposed to feel sorry? I don’t think so.

Goes to show that a college education does not teach you common sense.

Stop taking selfies on dangerous cliffs?

Don’t die for the gram, damn man! 😢 rest well young one.

These people are Darwin Award material. Sorry. I’m sorry for the parents who likely couldn’t keep up with training their youth against this obscene vanity culture, I am sorry for them.

Shaqkeem1 riiiiight. Thats what Marty and the Cartel want you to think.

im sorry but this is what social media is causing: risky decisions

A case of natural selection

The other side of technology!

Died by selfie

How horrible! Prayers for the student’s family.

SocialMedia Darwinism

Sending prayers and condolences

This is like the 4th fall from a cliff when someone is trying to get a better shot. Good grief people.

Sad but don't folks look there going anymore?

Natural selection. Stupid is as stupid does.
