WASHINGTON – Oh, the pitfalls of selfies for the leaders of the free world.
Ellen DeGeneres posts a selfie with famous actors and it breaks a Twitter record for retweets.
British Prime Minister tweets a selfie while he speaks with President Barack Obama discussing the situation in Ukraine and it sparks the creative juices of the twitterverse.
Tweets mocking the PM included a Lego man, multiple babies, Muppets and Patrick Stewart holding a container of Wet Ones. Yes, Wet Ones.
Take a look:
