The Obscure Analysis of Social Networking Personal Images

Full image of the chart can be found here since it's far too large to post.

So, how accurate does that look? I mean, obviously some of the generalizations are there for comedic purposes, but...for the most part, I'm going to have to agree with the majority of it (come on, the "Angles" section is spot-on!). I posted this image specifically because it was upon viewing it that I came to the realization that humans love to analyze things. From literature to history to now even pictures, we tend to scrutinize the smallest details and sometimes blow them directly out of proportion. In this particular chart-- and let me remind you yet again that I am well aware it was made semi-sarcastically-- they make bold generalizations as to what the mentality or physical appearance of someone seems like based on what part of their body is shown in their Facebook profile picture and how they've cropped and edited it. Does it offend people? I don't see why it shouldn't strike a few people as inappropriate...but then again, if it were more serious, it'd probably be a bigger dilemma.
