“I’ve already taken probably 500 selfies today.”

Are you a better person for it?

What an arrogant, self-absorbed, narcissistic nation we've become.

P.S.: I wonder who they voted for? </rhetorical question>

I want one with a sword, or possibly a shotgun, built in. Or both.

One of those things could easily be used a a self-defense weapon.

That being the case, Mayor DeBallsackio is probably preparing an executive order outlawing them in NYC even as i type this.

All you have to do to see this is action is log onto Facebook.

I know each generation thinks the upcoming one is the end of America, but just the word “selfie” makes me cringe.

And we've lost our leadership there too: "The selfie-stick phenomenon, which got its start in Asia"

And probably posted all 500 on facebook - Hey look at me, look at me. I think RUSh said it all started with the death of Diana, with thousands wanting to be part of the story by hanging out at all the memorials.

A Selfie should be called a Lonely.

“I’ve already taken probably 500 selfies today.”

When my dad passed away I wanted to do a photo montage for the funeral. I was able to get about 30 pictures spanning his entir 80 year life. There were more but most were him holding my daughter over the past few years and didn't want to make it all about that short portion of his life.

His generation could not even fathom 500 pictures in one day. Hell, my mom and his wedding album is like 10 pictures! How the world has changed.

Why does anyone ever want to take a picture of themselves?

From the article: "As Alarcon hams it up, passersby stare, but she’s too busy looking at herself in the photos to notice."

Situational Awareness comes to mind - as does a Godsend for the Peeping Toms and other pervs.
