Selfie Correcting Behavior

[Queersetti]

In 2015, nineteen people were killed in selfie-related incidents, and many more injured themselves. During the same period, eight people died of shark attacks.

How did we reach the point where the need to show off on social media outweighs common sense for seeing danger and the instinct for self-preservation?

Self-absorbed selfie shooters have fallen from cliffs, crashed their cars, and electrocuted themselves while posing for their followers atop train cars. Three college students died while trying to snap a selfie in front of an oncoming train. Others have shot and killed themselves while posing with guns. In a spectacular blowout, two Russians in the Urals posed with a hand grenade with the pin pulled out. The photograph survived as evidence of their inattention. A distracted Cessna pilot in Colorado lost control of his plane and killed its occupants. In Portugal a Polish couple fell from a cliff into the ocean after stepping over a safety barrier to take a selfie with their two children, who lived to witness their parents’ death. Seven youths drowned on a lake in India when their boat tipped over as they stood up to pose for pictures.

While taking a selfie in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a young man fell into the crater of Mount Merapi, an active volcano. Nearby off the coast of Bali, a tourist fell into the sea while snapping himself on a picturesque cliff. In Moscow a graduate student fell from a bridge while attempting to capture herself in a dramatic pose. Another young Russian angling for a trophy shot fell to his death while hanging from a nine-story building. At the Taj Mahal a Japanese tourist photographing himself fell down a staircase to his death.

Let's buy Eyer a selfie stick and turn him loose in the zoo. Natural law should resolve things from there.
