Wow. Saw them everywhere when I was on vacation. Taking narcissism to a new level. Wish I had invented them. I could get rich off the total self-involvement of others.

So... You got one?

Or.. What do you think about them?

    I don't get it. I'm on a cruise in the Sea of Cortez and some gal spent the whole evening taking pics of herself. She could have had some beautiful pics if she had just turned her cell phone the opposite direction. I guess when she posts it on FB everyone will be jealous of what's going on over her shoulder.

    They've had to actually put an official ban on them (on rides) in Disney parks. Not sure if they've brought it to a total ban yet. Not even Mickey Mouse wants to be a part of your selfie sticks!

    Had one for a short bit, it's good for those hard to reach places. When I was done, I gave it to the kids! Haha

    I never cared for Go-Pros either, but at least they were recording what's going on around them.

    It's a practical solution. Every girl should have one. And name it.

    They're handy if you're trying to include yourself in a photo and have no one around to take it. I find I'm often left out of the vacation photos because I am always the one taking the picture! :/ And if you are going to say, "just ask a random person to take it for you" ... yes this can be done, but you'd be surprised how many people truly do not know how to take a decent photo... ::sigh:: So for those reasons I am all for a selfie-stick! I just haven't purchased one yet.

    I don't understand WHY they exist...like you could EASILY ask someone "hey can you take a pic of me and my friends" and they would oblige. I don't believe there are that many people out there who would steal a phone. Everyone already has their own!

    But there are a lot of people who don't know how to take a decent photo!
    I have experienced this on many a vacation!
