Let's take a moment to explore this phenomena. A good Shakeyhead photo is, practically by definition, a really unattractive photo. Of you. No, of course it doesn't look like you. Well, it does look like you, only worse. Which naturally is funnier. It looks like you, but a crazy you, which leads many people to be too distracted by their own egos to properly take a good Shakeyhead.
I try not to hold that against people. Some people don't even like attractive photos taken of themselves, so it's no wonder that those same people, and a few more, don't want to take a Shakeyhead. I guess it's actually more about insecurity than vanity (though I suspect the latter in some cases - they shall go unnamed). Actually, I applaud anybody who even attempts one, even if after seeing the very first results they immediately say "AAAAUGH" and hastily excuse themselves from the exercise.
So, let's take a moment and say "Thanks!" to all those idiots beautiful people pictured on these pages.
