One humorous Internet trend that has arisen in response is to point out the silliness of pretentious Instagram pictures by rudely splashing red text on them.

Eric Limer [Rant warning] I've said it before, and it's worth repeating: "Opinionated" is not a compliment. It's not even value-neutral; it's bad.
