Why in the history of a…

Okay the date thing is fucking funny but this response thread actually made me spit coffee out I was laughing so hard HAHAHHAHAHAHHA

My favorite:

But Selena didn’t post that pic above? Showing the guy taking the photo in the mirror comes off as creepy.

These are the same people who think “Born in the USA” is a song about patriotism.
