There’s an old saying in Romanian that the truth is told as a joke. That’s not always the case, but I believe that when it comes to the following video, satire is used to make a fair point: selfie sticks have taken over our lives. The people over at College Humor tackle the selfie stick problem in a hilarious spoof:
As you can see, there are a lot of benefits to having your picture taken by a friend, as opposed to a selfie stick; it doesn’t even have to be a friend. I mean, who among us has never asked a complete stranger to take a picture? (Via PetaPixel)
In all fairness, there are some situations where I totally understand the appeal of a selfie stick. When I’m out and about with my GoPro and I want to take an extra-wide shot, or if I’m trying to take a photo of a very large group, I could find it justifiable. However, those were situations easily fixable without a selfie stick, and easily fixable with a friend.
“Finally, take selfies so good they’re just called ‘pictures’.”
An increasingly common sight…
What’s your position on selfie sticks? Are you among the people who like them, or would you rather see them banned?
