Man hits back at photo criticism with hilarious ‘filter’ images

Man who was told ‘ladies will find him more attractive’ if he uses filters on his pictures hits back with hilarious viral photos that show him holding vacuum, coffee pot, and humidifier filters

  • Glenn Embrey, who lives in Caneyville, Kentucky, posted a viral Facebook album that’s been shared over 115,000 times
  • He said: ‘Somebody said the ladies will find me a lot more attractive if I post pictures with filters’
  • Instead of using image filters to change the appearance of his folders, he held up different kinds of filters from machines 
  • ‘I have some doubts but what do I know, right? So here goes. Man my phone’s probably gonna really blow up,’ he wrote 

A Kentucky man has gone viral for something that millions of social media users do every day: He posted pictures with filters.

But Glenn Embrey, who lives in Caneyville, didn’t adjust the brightness or saturation on his photos, or post them on Instagram with ‘Juno’ or ‘Valenica.’

Rather, Glenn’s filters were the kinds found in cooling systems, humidifiers, vacuum cleaners, and coffee pots.  

‘Somebody said the ladies will find me a lot more attractive if I post pictures with filters,’ he wrote on Facebook on May 8. ‘I have some doubts but what do I know, right? So here goes. Man my phone’s probably gonna really blow up.’ 

His phone most certainly did blow up: Since he posted the funny album, his photos have been liked 38,000 times and shared 115,000 times, with thousands of commenters applauding the joke.
