Cleansing the gene pool...one millennial at a time.

Death by vanity

I don’t know that these photos resulted in death, I was just responding to the article posted with examples of the nonsense people are committing out of vanity for a selfie. There are many more online. I did hear about the one who got gored by a bison taking a selfie in Yellowstone recently, and stuff like this is happening all the time. Youngsters have always felt invincible at a certain age range, but todays youth are looking for internet fame and willing to go full retard to get it.

Are we sure it wasn’t suicide?

This sort of thing seems to be common now. Perhaps cell phones and selfie sticks should be outlawed or registered and then confiscated.

Are the Brits so godless that they’ve removed the words husband and wife?

lol

People quoted in the article calling for a safety net along the wall. News flash morons: Cliffs are inherently dangerous. Be careful when you’re close to the edge.

Obviously we need to regulate selfies!

No one has ever claimed taking s selfie as a human right. So we can ban selfies. We can start with stiff penalties for the manufacturer of any mobile phine capable of taking a selfie.

What’s that you say? You want to know how they can do that?

That is not our problem. Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?

When I was at the Grand Canyon, there was a guy there leaning forward so he could look like he was flying for his selfie. All I could think of was what would happen if a gust of wind came up.

Since there are few clearer symptoms of today’s epidemic of narcissism and self-absorption than compulsive selfie-taking, somehow I don’t feel like mourning this particular loss.

People who can climb like that can probably take selfies there at no additional danger.

But did they get the shot?

Better, is this a way to circumvent the suicide clause in insurance policies?

Paraphrasing Dean Werner, “Stupidity (and probably trespassing) for the sake of vanity is no way to go through life, son”
