photographing themselves in mid-action, as seen in the popular Japanese

On March 29th, 2013, Twitter user Rob Martinez tweeted a picture of himself
staging Darth Vader’s Force choke with the hashtag #vadering (shown below).
That same day, Martinez’ photo was reposted to the /r/pics subreddit
[12],
where it garnered more than 16,900 upvotes and 480 comments within a few days.
On March 30th, the same photo appeared on 9GAG
[13],
where it received similarly positive reviews.
I saw vadering the other day. Some of these are just great shots.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at the one where the chick hadoukened the chick in the back. It was funny on the surface because she launched the sneak attack....and it was funny underneath because of how frustrating it was to get shot in the back of the legs when jumping over Ken or Ryu. That move probably led to more physical violence in our game room as a kid than Chicago.
I should try this with Luke. He would think it was hilarious.
