1) It's psychological: Some people are very insecure/uncomfortable posting a regular pic of themselves b/c then the criticism they may potentially receive -- not cute enough, etc. -- becomes *very real* to them... and they can't quite handle it. (The real physical "them" is being criticized, and it hurts). They know they have to post some sort of pic to get any responses, so by posting a 'funny, goofball' pic, they hope to receive the attention they desire from those curious to know/see more and are at least somewhat intrigued/attracted to them. Anybody that criticizes them can be easily dismissed as haters (psychologically in their minds) who don't get the joke or are making pejorative judgments not on the "real" them, just the goofball pic of them.
2) You know entirely too much about what a poodle's penis looks like...
