Sellotape selfies become the latest version of the internet’s most popular craze

Posted on 03/22/2014 10:06:00 PM PDT by Jack Hydrazine

Sellotape selfies, aka sellofies, have spread in popularity on Facebook as the latest baffling craze for people with too much time on their hands.

Since Bradley Cooper and Ellen Degeneres sent Twitter into meltdown with their Oscars selfie, the world has been subjected to a relentless stream of copycat acts.

From Dylan Hartley and the England rugby team to the old dude with two dogs, some efforts have been mildly amusing, while others have just left us thinking WHERE WILL IT ALL END?

This latest hybrid is apparently inspired by Jim Carrey film Yes Man, but there is also evidence that the ‘Sellotape selfie’ owes its origins to this American photographer.

Either way, just in case you haven’t already seen enough selfies, here is a selection of nine people who wrapped sellotape around their face and then uploaded the evidence to the internet:

The internet is a very efficient concentrator of human silliness.

New app will let you take a regular selfie and automatically convert it to a selloselfie.

Federal government will spend millions on CDC PSA announcements warning of dangers of real selloselfies after suffocation deaths.

And...

Children will be warned that selloselfies can cause blindness just like selfies can.
