Don't bring your selfie stick to Disney World.

Officials announced Friday that a ban takes effect Tuesday at all four Disney theme parks in Orlando as well as at Disney's water parks and Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney.

A small piece of good news. The most annoying thing about going to a tourist place today is say there is a group of 10 people. Each one now wants to take the same exact photo with their own smart phone.

The most obnoxious invention of the modern age.

Too bad...as is a useful rear vision device when the “amish” are around.....and almost as good as a golf club for defense.

What are they doing with their confederate flags?

The best video ever made with a selfie stick. You probably already know how it ends. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=23a_1435271691

The worst part is that they stop right outside a door, the top of an escalator, the middle of a pathway, and create a logjam for everyone else.

This is good news. Now hopefully other places will follow. If you have to have a long stick to have a selfie then perhaps you should just continue to take them in the bathroom with the mirror.

What are they doing with their confederate flags?

shhhhh. Don’t remind them. lol. Actually I don’t think they have any.

Logjam?

I just plow into them. With an “oops, sorry. Not paying attention either” look.

[Political Junkie Too]

That was you?

Probably not now, but I remember seeing hundreds of souvenir Confederate flags and hats with the battle flag symbol on them for sale at Disneyland in the 1960s during the Civil War Centennial.

Punches in the face work so well, that I think they really need to make a comeback.

Stop to take a selfie and cause a pedestrian traffic hazard? Punch in the face.

Interupt my brunch with some “Hashtag”able protest event for whatever your occupy-someone-else’s-space cause is? Punch in the face.

Walk into my store and demand I bake you a cake celebrating your fake marriage to some fellow turdburglar? Punch in the face.

You get the idea.

Just start punching people in the face. Say it’s protected under 14A, because it is your right to punch people in the face, and their right to be punched in the face.

[Responsibility2nd]

Yeah. But be glad it was me and not Rodamala. (See post 13)

lolol

[Fido969]

President Selfie Stick does not approve.

[Lazamataz]

Suppose I put Confederate flags all over the stick?

[martin_fierro]

Selfie, selfie on a stick
Won't you please to take my pic?

[Scrambler Bob]

I just plow into them. With an “oops, sorry. Not paying attention either” look.

or I was texting

How about a selfish drone which flies just in front of you taking your picture without being tethered to you like a stick.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I was gonna mount a camera on one of these...
