The other day, Vogue released a couple of new photos from the Kim Kardashian – Kanye West spread included in the latest issue, and one of them has already gone viral because it’s either one of the biggest instances of Photoshop fail of our times or irrefutable proof that Kanye walks with the undead.

The Internet seems to favor the latter and, honestly now, it’s easy to see why: it’s more fun to assume Kanye is a vampire than to admit that no one at Vogue saw anything wrong with the photo above.

Call it the ultimate selfie, it shows Kim holding daughter North, while snapping a selfie in the mirror. Kanye too is there and he’s photographing Kim photographing herself but, this time, he’s using a tablet.

What makes the photo so confusing is the fact that, by all natural laws, Kanye should have a reflection in the mirror, next to Kim and North, but it’s nowhere to be seen. Do you know which is the creature who most famously doesn’t have a mirror reflection / doesn’t cast a shadow?

If you guessed vampire, you’re right.

As we speak, social media is literally on fire with comments pointing to Kanye’s undeadness, with many even going as far as to joke that this explains a whole bunch of other things, like his ego, his hatred of paparazzi flashlights (which act upon him as sunlight would on a “regular” vampire) and even the fact that, in another one of the Vogue shots, he looks as if he’s about to sink his teeth in his fiancée’s neck.

Of course, celebrity gossip lovers know that, if Kanye is a vampire, he’s the kind that’s found a way to be able to go out in sunlight and he’s probably not afraid to go into churches either, since he and Kim are planning a May wedding.

He might even be one of those evolved breeds of bloodsuckers like Stephenie Meyer unleashed into the world with “Twilight,” the kind that walk the earth at daytime (and sparkle!) and never touch human blood because they’re “vegan.”

The Internet is yet to decide if Kim and North might also be vampires; it could be that Kanye is saving himself for the wedding before turning Kim, just like it happened in the aforementioned young-adult series of novels.

The photo has sparked more than this crazy and absolutely hilarious vampire theory, generating what looks like the start of a brand new, potentially successful meme. The GIF right below this piece is so endlessly fascinating because it also strikes us as very likely – because of Kanye’s overinflated ego, you know.

Kanye also witnessed the controversial Obama selfie at Mandela's funeral.
