CNN’s Anderson Cooper reached out to followers today for tips on using Instagram, but it doesn’t look like he’s having any problem framing his shots for maximum interest and/or creepiness.

So, we’re not the only ones who noticed that, um, floating severed head wearing the gas mask?

@andersoncooper is that a head statue of yourself?

We can take or leave “Anderson Cooper 360,” but this Instagram account might be one to watch.
