Here's something new to me, the "Narcissist stick" I fear it could be coming to a teenager near you soon.

Wouldn't it just be easier to get a friend to take a picture of you?

People who spend their time taking pictures of themselves don't have any friends ...

Mirror, mirror on the wall...
feck it!
Where's that stick that does it all?

Traffic Droid will be delighted!

GoPros have had sticks for ages! Think it's called a GoPole? They're not just for selfies, they take great action footage when snowboarding etc.

I'm not sure I'd fancy hurtling down a mountain with an impaling device strapped to my heid/body...

Haha, no you hold the stick in your hand, with the GoPro either pointing up at you or down at you, it makes for a good shot. Like this:

They should only be used with a firkin big flash gun so that you get to realise what a dick you are whilst blind. Selfies

Vanity the lot of it. I love technology but there is something about 'social media' that i cant quite put into words that i really dislike. Like the OP, Narcissistic for want of a better word.

I see tourists walking round near my office with those most days.
I'm not sure who I hate the most, the ones with cameras on a stick or the ones taking photos with a massive Ipad!

The latter is surely worse.

Infinitely. Mostly because the camera quality on iPads is f**king woeful.

Ipad on a stick would be hilarious.
