Trudeau Cardboard Cut-out Selfies Budget Slashed by Bureaucratic Bores

By -
Just when a Canadian Prime Minister was hip and cool to hang out with at parties (even in cardboard form!) meddlesome bureaucrats step in to put a stop to fun. What a surprise. 

Trudeau Cardboard Cut-outs have apparently been all rage at parties in the US and inspire spontaneous selfie moments that bring joy to all involved. 

"A Trudeau cut-out appeared at Canada Day events last year at the embassy in Washington, for example, and as recently as last week, at a Canadian tourism booth at the South by Southwest arts festival in Austin, Texas. 
But after Conservative party researchers alerted news media, including CBC News, to the images, Global Affairs Canada ordered an end to the practice."

For quite some time now, yoga "selfies" have caused a stir in the yoga community, and with the recent New York Times article profiling them , I think it is about time Yoga Face Selfies also get the coverage they deserve.  Now, even if you really want to try Yoga Face Selfies, please remember that not all poses are suited for every face, please carefully consider each Yoga Face Selfie pose before trying that pose yourself. I repeat, t his is not for everyone. Please don’t ever hurt your face in order to get a picture — it's so not worth it!  If you do choose to participate though, you will be warmly welcomed into an ever growing community. One of the easiest ways to get started is to join the " yoga face selfie post a day” challenge. You can post your pictures to Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook with the hashtag #YogaFaceSelfie.

"Your Beliefs Don't Make You a Better Person, Yoga Face Does." - Inspired by a Sukhraj S. Dillon Quote

By -

"Your beliefs don't make you a better person, yoga face does." was inspired by a quote by Sukhraj S. Dillon, "Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behaviour does." I love how by switching words contained in inspirational quotes and completely transform the meaning and, if you're lucky, will also give you a better understanding of how the quote works. This one, for example, is largely based on confirmation bias. When confirmation bias is in effect, we will assume that other people will have the same concept of what behaviour will make you a "better" person. Culture to culture that idea of actions or behaviours that will make you a "better" person will shift. If you replace the word "behaviour" with a specific action, you will undoubtable lose a portion of your audience that feel the action your have described does not actually make you a better person. This is interesting stuff, I think.

Yoga Face Selfie Gurus Inspire Photoshop Activists to Put Mr. Bean's Face into Every Movie and Painting in the Known World

A movement has begun that involves online photoshop activists taking the face of Mr. Bean (aka Rowan Atkinson), a known Yoga Face Selfie guru, and inserting it into already popular movies and paintings to give classic works new life. We here at the Yoga Face Selfie Blog expect there is a correlation between this and the movie poster image of JAWS , which likely started this trend.  Art historians everywhere are rejoicing as it is now impossible to dig through the depths of the internet to find unadulterated images of such paintings as Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". This uptick in museum attendance has been lauded as one of the many unexpected societal bonus's of the Yoga Face Selfie 2.0 technique.  Below you will find an assortment of the creativity as previous showcased on Bored Panda and now showcased below.    This post is an act of satire. Stay tuned to this blog and all o...
