While taking self-portraits with the characteristic camera-or-phone-in-front-of-face position is not a new phenomenon, it has generated a wealth of technology to facilitate selfie taking.
Instagram allowed users to manipulate lighting, add borders and filters, Snapchat added an ephemeral and sometimes X-rated capability, and now there's SkinneePix a $0.99 app available for iPhone. This terrible new app reinforces that skinny is the desirable selfie.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
