Weird news: Diaper-Changing Dads Inundate Twitter With 'Smelfies'

Monday, 9 March 2015

Following last month's rise of "brelfie," another parenting-themed photo trend is making waves in the Twittersphere.

Last week, Australian comedian and dad Adam Hills tweeted a photo of himself changing a diaper, along with the caption "Real men change nappies #smelfie." Smelly diaper plus selfie equals "smelfie."

As dad to two little daughters, Hills is no stranger to diaper duty. After retweeting some of his favorite "smelfies," the comedian responded to complaints with a straightforward post:

BTW I'm RT'ing #smelfie photos to encourage more dads to change nappies. Anyone unhappy with that needs a sense of humour transplant.

Diaper duty for the win!
