"I'm reminded of an episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," where one of the main characters, Mac, wants to be a musician. Instead of focusing on the music, he's concerned completely with how to better look like a rocker.
When being helped with a guitar in a music store, and having the functions of the guitar described to him, he pushes the salesman aside, so that he can better look at himself in the mirror with a guitar around his shoulder."
