Geraldo Rivera made the Internet avert its eyes over the weekend when he tweeted a half-naked photo of himself looking in the bathroom mirror.

The 70-year-old’s selfie, which came with the assertion “70 is the new 50,” was later taken down by Rivera, who tweeted the following on Sunday:

Note to self: no tweeting after 1am

1. I suspect I now know more about Geraldo's personal grooming habits than I ever cared to

I've seen a lot of creepy 'selfies' but that one is slithering towards the top of the list.

2. if the royal baby is a boy can they please name him Geraldo

4. stayed up late last night reading funny tweets about the GeraldoSelfie

. . . laughed ourselves silly and raw.

[ZombieHorde]

5. He just looks like a guy to me. nt

[MadrasT]

6. Holy crap. WTF was he thinking?

What the fuck is anyone thinking when they do this?

"Self portait with cellphone cam in bathroom mirror" is pretty much the the height of narcissistic attention-seeking.

Wow.

[anneboleyn]

11. MTE. Seriously creepy. Is he a drinker?

One wonders WTH he was thinking. Seriously.

[ellenfl]

32. yup. you nailed it. eom

[Gus Lammas]

7. the horror

the horror...

[geek tragedy]

8. Just reading about it makes me squirm nt

[They_Live]

9. I find it amusing

that he is literally seeing the world through rose colored glasses. Brilliant career move!

10. from the Mad Magazine Blog

On Sunday morning, Geraldo Rivera tweeted a nearly-naked selfie, proudly proclaiming, “70 is the new 50.” (To which we proudly proclaim: “Both are still gross to look at.”) However, despite Geraldo’s pride in his appearance, we’ve learned that not all the work on his body was done at the gym! After doing a little cyber-research, we were able to find the original, untouched selfie!

19. OMG! His tits are sagging more than mine and I'm older.

Of course I work out. I suggest Geraldo do the same.

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. thats not a real photograph

[CatWoman]

33. it's satire Cleita

that's what Mad does

[Cleita]

35. I hadn't seen the original until

Chris Hayes showed it. I guess I fell for it.

[Spazito]

12. Geez, that selfie belongs in Al Capone's vault...

then it wouldn't be empty any more.

[Heather MC]

13. This is ok but hoodies are bad? What a world!

[Mojorabbit]

14. He is in good shape for 70

but I really did not need to know that nor see that.

[L0oniX]

15. Alerting ..because of the mental image abuse.

[Rex]

16. SO why does a one Geraldo have on rose tinted glasses at 1am?

NM...I can answer my own question...because Geraldo Rivera is a fucking loser hypocrite just like every other person that works for Socknews.

[Cleita]

18. It's more like the green tint on the bottle of Jameson's that he looking through. nt

[Rex]

20. LOL!

So true! I just cannot stand the man and to post a picture of yourself in your bathroom mirror...hmm maybe he is having his David Hasselhoff moment eating a hamburger off the floor?

[Cleita]

21. Why else would you do stuff like that unless you are drunk or high?

No one would do that sober unless they were twenty years old and in perfect shape.

[Rex]

23. Or unless you are the prince of narcissism.

Nah...you are 100% correct, he is stoned or drunk out of his gourd. Sad little man. I wonder if he feels like a total bastard now for the cruel things he said about Martin? I doubt it, but something must be driving his need to embarrass himself.

[calimary]

24. Heck, I know 20-year-olds in perfect shape who would never do that! Drunk OR sober!

All I can say is "EEEEUUUWWW!" But I've been saying that about poor, pathetic, misguided Geraldo Rivera for a long time now.

[Cleita]

17. You know if you are going to drink, you should lock your electronic devices away first

with a drunk proof lock that can only be opened when you sober up. It would save a lot of embarrassment.

[MineralMan]

22. Note to self: Do not post selfies on Twitter.

Just in case I'm ever tempted.

[Skittles]

26. he faults Trayvon for wearing a hoodie

yet thinks that is appropriate - what an asshole

[JI7]

27. he needs to put a fucking hoodie on or something

[JI7]

28. fucking douchebag

[Bjorn Against]

29. You need to put a graphic warning on that link

I know you said he made the "internet avert its eyes" but you could have said something more along the lines of WARNING!!!!!AVERT YOUR EYES IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO VOMIT!!!!

I think I am traumatized after clicking that link.

[Liberal_in_LA]

30. lol. sorry

[madville]

31. Damn 70, I wish I had that body at 35 lol

He is in great shape for 70, weirdness aside.

[ellenfl]

34. reminds me of the g. gordon liddy speedo pic. where's my mind's eye poker outer? eom

[47of74]

36. Once again...

Now excuse me while I go wash my eyes with bleach...

[nolabear]

37. Chest, not bad. Brain? Definitely past its use by date.
