Renee, that's the kind of "fun" my two highly intelligent yet 90 to 99% socially challenged stepsons could make about themselves.
The very layout of that ad (starting with the brand name) makes me wonder who their targeted audience is...
Wearing this could be a weird kind of (unknowingly self-destructive) humor, and not just a nasty comment on the use and abuse of social media...
Well, you know my professional bias...
