Chris from Washington was so peeved at his daughter posting highly provocative photos online that he felt he had, had enough.

Cassie herself no stranger to social media has chalked up 71,000 fans on Instagram but that’s nothing compared to her father’s 139,000 fans. She now has to bear up his constant teasing and also watch him become her biggest competitor on Instagram.

When the selfie dad first started out on his comical venture, he had just 49 followers. These were of course close friends and family. But when he started the weird project of mimicking his daughter’s selfies, his fan following soared to double that of his daughter’s. Chris says 'She'd been on Instagram for longer than me by far - until recently I barely even understood Facebook!

Chris thought he was just being funny and that the actions were momentarily. He did not realize he would become a viral sensation on social media. He said ‘No way did I expect such a big reaction if I'd have known that people all over the world would have seen the photos, I would have at least drawn the tattoos better.'

Chris has become so popular with digital magazines on the net publishing his photos that in some places they are now being called Chris Martin –Part 2.

According to Chris, he will continue doing this to attract Cassie’s attention at the absurdity of the situation. He felt that some of her photos were too provocative and it was attracting the attention of too many males and several vulgar comments from men.

Well! That’s exactly what Chris Martin hopes to achieve. He knows Cassie won’t stop what she is doing which of course he hopes she will, but since her racy photos attract too much attention, he also wants to be part of it so that people will know that he is watching. Hopefully that will deter the perverts away from his daughter. No one wants to deal with an obsessive loony dad.

From the comments that Chris receives, it is apparent that this has turned out to be the most comical situation ever. If you continue reading and seeing the ridiculous photos, you’ll understand why.

Cassie has nice hair that can be styled according to her wishes as her selfies show. Chris has hardly any hair so he uses his own props to copy her hairstyles. He is definitely one nut job.

Chris has posted most of the Instagram photos with the tagline @Cassietherapy hoping that his daughter will ultimately see reason and stop posting rampant selfies of herself. He is, of course, acting like an overly concerned father but being a comedian, he does a different take on things.

Chris Martin too seems all carried away in his project of Cassie therapy because he went as far as piercing his own belly button so that he could authenticate the photo mimicry to the last detail, now isn’t that weird?

This is one wacky photo where Chris also wears stockings to show of a chubby bit of thigh. But I’m sure any father seeing this photo of Cassie flashing a bit more than usual will go bonkers. The only problem with Chris Martin’s Cassie therapy is the fact that it might just about him needing therapy after this is over.

Well Cassie may have wanted to highlight her slippers and that’s exactly what Chris also did, He too seems to have bought a hip pair of slippers just for the photograph. Once wonders, how far will this go and will Cassie actually toe the line or will they join up as a daughter-father duo and post some really funny stuff together.

Whatever be it, you got to hand it to Chris for being so sporting about Cassie’s selfie obsession which after all is a curse of today’s technology just as the very same technology is a boon to many.

As you can see from the image below, Chris receives a lot of comments from his fans where one even calls him “The dad of the year”. Some even love it and compliment Cassie too. Well, it’s nice to see this friendly war going on between dad and daughter.

It goes to show that unlike many, Chris isn’t going to holler, scream rant and rave at Cassie as that won’t achieve a thing. He has decided to take it to her in his own way where he mimics his daughter’s selfies Perhaps we will only get to know in future who wins the selfie war.
