Jerry's First Selfie Is Not Really a Selfie

by Maitri Suhas

So technically it's not Jerry Seinfeld's first selfie, but it's a start: Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry, posted a photo on her Instagram Wednesday of the couple on their vacation in Greece with the accompanying caption:

Jerry's First Selfie. Ugh. Stop. #greeceistheword.

A few things about this: Yes, the couple have been married for 15 years this December, but does love really trump what I feel is Jerry's need to veto that punny hashtag? Also, Seinfeld's first "selfie" is really missing some key selfie elements: First of all, he's not flying solo in the photo (he's on the arm of his loving wife); it doesn't look like he took the photo himself; and it's not posted on his personal social media account.

All that said, there's no denying it's a pretty cute picture that gives us a glimpse into the lives of a normal celebrity couple. Even if I swear I can hear Jerry's inner monologue just looking at the picture: "Now people are going to expect more selfies from me! And what about the angle? What's a selfie say about my narcissism?" Not that there's anything wrong with those thoughts. (Side-note: Jerry Seinfeld is on vacation with Kelly Ripa, which leaves me rife with so many questions.)
