PALO ALTO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Researchers at Stanford University Medical School have found an unusual cure for selfitis, a mental disorder defined by the American Psychiatric Association as “the obsessive-compulsive urge to take photos of one’s self and posting them on social media.” It is estimated that 250 Million people worldwide suffer from selfitis.

The new cure is in the form of a ‘selfie toaster’ which imprints personalized selfie photos on bread slices. The kitchen appliance is manufactured and distrubuted by Vermont Novelty Toaster Corporation. The Vermont-based company is the same manufacturer of the ‘Jesus toaster’ and the ‘Virgin Mary toaster.’

For just $75, you can now order a custom image toaster that will brown your face, or any other image you submit, into toasted bread, said company owner Galen Dively.

The Stanford researchers  studied 500 individuals suffering from chronic selfitis and provided them with customized selfie toasters. After just six months of tracking the study participants, researchers found that 75% were cured of selfitis and have totally stopped taking selfies.

“We believe that the daily routine of ‘consuming one’s self’ for breakfast creates a subconscious resolve to keep the ego in check,” the researchers concluded.

So much for the saying, “You’re toast!” Now we can say, “You’re cured!” Of selfitis.
