I get girls to try do this but while they play with themselves.
That's a real selfie.
This gives me a brilliant idea. Imagine a self-stick, but on a raised foot attachment. You can actually make it look like you're not holding the camera at all. And it doesn't require asian-gymnist flexibility.

I saw one of these for the first time ever a few months ago. There were about 20 Indians using one at Hearst Castle.
Asians seem to love photographing themselves and this was way before smartphones. I've noticed that a lot of FOB Asian women have their own photo as a background on their laptops and smartphones.

I find it incredibly strange how the average person seems to be endlessly fascinated by taking pictures of themselves. It's literally like watching a monkey discovering its own reflection in a mirror over and over.
"Holy shit...I EXIST! There is me! This is amazing! I am so fucking awesome! Woohoo!" *flings its own shit everywhere*

I don't see this really catching on with white bitches. They'll feel that this looks weird and/or retarded. It's actually a very male/geeky idea -- just invent a gadget that solves the mechanical problem.
Asians might like it just fine because they have the gadget gene -- it doesn't surprise me to see a lot of Asians in the demos. But without the stamp of approval of the White Woman -- the most revered creature that has yet walked the earth -- it will never be a true A-list product.

The one bitch on the left with the huge tits is Wendy Fiore, not sure who the other is. I actually find it weird to take pictures of myself, so I hardly take pictures. In some ways its nice to document how you look throughout your life, but this is taking it to extreme territories. I guess it will now be normal to have 10,000 facebook photos.
Am I the only person waiting for most people to shame others who still do this as being played out? Used to be people would call things that jumped the shark, played out by now. This selfie trend has some serious legs!
Gold chains, iceberg clothes, faux hawks, and trapper keepers have nothing on selfies.

There's not always something to set your phone on. Plus how many times do you have a pic of someone running back to the proper spot. This is such an asian thing. I agree I don't think it'll catch on much beyond that. The shaming of it seems to come from smug hipster types from the TUMBLR blogs. It has its uses, but not for a smartphone, which usually have terrible front facing cameras. My facebook wall was inundated with tons of TERRIBLE selfies in front of Christ the Redeemer. For me, I don't trust other people to have my phone or camera. They run away with it, I'm screwed. This selfie stick is too cumbersome though. If it were a high quailty picture, like a gopro camera, I'd be more inclined to use it (in a deserted area where no one could see me like in Nature).
I take shitloads of photos though, probably at least 100-200 per month of everything that I do (I don't take selfies though), so I kind of "get it".

If this is the average shot from the selfie stick, I give it my stamp of approval.
This is obviously shit.
I wonder how we can use it to increase our game.. selfie stick game.
I think it would be really funny to tell a girl who has one of these.. "hey, can I show you a cool trick with that?"
and when she gives it to you, you smash it over your leg and say
"Oops it broked"

I don't get how a better selfie (resulting from a picture taken more far away from the subject) is worth having a FUCKING STICK IN EVERY SINGLE PICTURE. And there's no angle that can avoid it with this device. If anything, this stick should have had a concave shape.

Your selfie stick is showing.
I'm worried that you guys are even noticing the stick in that picture.

I was in the gym this morning and a chick walked in, spent 5 minutes taking selfies in the mirror and then proceeded to walk the fuck back out the door again.
She didn't even attempt some semblance of a workout, didn't bother to even hop on an exercise bike or treadmill.
I know chicks rarely take a workout seriously but that was brazen shit on a whole other level I'd never seen.

Clever invention
What better way to call people out on their narcissism than to have them use a giant stick in public to take a photo
