Whether you somehow lit your baseball bat on fire just before the shoot or had the word "Seniors" get lodged in your ass, your senior portrait shoot can be fraught with peril.
Remember a few years ago when you passed your pictures out to everyone in the cafeteria and they were all, "OMG, your hair is so cute! And this posed representation totally captured you and your rebellious ways! I can tell just by looking at your hopeful, noble gaze into the future that you are destined for success in any field you choose."
Well, they were lying. You looked ridiculous. Thanks to the magic of Google, it can be quantified how ridiculous. Let's explore.

Oh, my, so much to say. Did Corey go to high school in hell? Who thinks it's a good idea to pose for pictures on a railroad track? Is that kid in front of the flag not proud to be an American? And is that girl's name Ebay?
