The only kind of inanimate rod that doesn’t deserve respect, 2015’s ~biggest trend~ and exercise in perfectly-framed vanity, the selfie stick, is already in danger.
Major London music venues have truly taken on God’s work by going ahead and straight up banning selfie sticks from concerts, according to NME. According to a spokesperson from the O2 arena, the sticks have been banned “for safety considerations”, because wielding a four foot long metal stick in a mosh could literally take an eye out, fools.
But couldn’t they have been banned purely for the fact that they make you look fucking ridiculous? Can this spread a worldwide movement? Can I personally seize selfie sticks from every palm I see one resting in? Will you help me? Good.
Selfie sticks have reportedly been banned at London’s Brixton Academy, The Wembley Arena and the O2 arena.
