I think it's humor/teasing, not criticism. People do sort of look like
chimps with an unfamiliar object. Doesn't help when they get older and have
to hold the camera at arm's length.
(Idea: maybe chimps can't focus as closely as people?)
Pretty funny, but for a while I'm going to feel self-conscious looking at
the screen.
