The Selfie Spoon: This Really Needs to Stop

Posted on 22/09/2015 by Conner Flynn

Selfies. A vile habit for the vain? Or just a fun way to be forever alone? Maybe both. Selfies jumped the shark a long time ago with such products as the Selfie Stick. Just when you thought the selfie accessories could not get any stranger, along comes the Selfie Spoon.

You have to eat. And you have to take selfies. Right? Well, now you no longer have to pause your food intake to get that shot. General Mills has invented the Selfie Spoon. That’s right. A spoon with a built-in selfie stick.

So we can see pictures of you stuffing your face with Captain Crunch and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Not Fruit Loops, because that’s you if you use this thing. How did you survive without it?

The Selfie Arm: This Is Why You Are Alone.

Posted on 30/04/2015 by Conner Flynn

The latest in crazy selfie-taking gadgets is this weird fiberglass Selfie Arm that will make it look like you are not alone, even though you are. And this is exactly why you are alone! Who does that? Put the arm down and go find yourself a human companion!

Artists Aric Snee and Justin Crowe created this ridiculous gadget for the sad and forever alone. Think of it as a selfie stick and dummy arm in one. It creates the illusion that you have a friend who is taking the shot, which of course you don’t. What do you expect? You are taking a selfie with a dummy arm!

If you ever see anyone with this in public, either run for your life or give them a hug. They could use some human contact.

Selfie Remote Is Just What It Sounds Like

Posted on 04/03/2015 by Conner Flynn

It’s official. We have become so lazy that we even need a remote to take selfies. I guess the selfie stick didn’t make things easy enough for those who like to take duck-lipped selfies. I guess you could always ask others to take your photo if you are lazy and want a better looking image, but that may lead to your handset being stolen. The good news is that you can also use this handy selfie remote. You might get a better image and you don’t even need to hold your phone.

First you’ll need to download the free app from the App Store. Once it is installed, it will automatically sync to your Selfie Remote. Then when you are ready to capture an image, just press the button on the remote control and activate your shutter. That was easy. You didn’t even have to touch your phone. It works from a distance of up to about 10 feet.

Happy selfie taking!

Spooky Selfie is the Most Pointless Game Ever

Posted on 04/02/2015 by Shane McGlaun

A new game has launched called Spooky Selfie. It may well be the most pointless and strange game ever written. The premise is that you are a skeleton. You own a smartphone. And you like to take selfies.

You walk around the graveyard where you live, walking around and snapping selfies with your smartphone. Yeah, that’s the game.

The selfies are automatically tagged with a handful of phrases which don’t make the game any more compelling. The upside is that since you are a skeleton in the game and have no lips, you can’t take a duck face selfie or a butt selfie for that matter.

Spooky Selfie can be played in your browser or as a Windows download. Check it out here.

The Belfie Is a Sign That The Apocalypse is Nigh

Posted on 08/01/2015 by Stirling Matheson

Okay… so you have a selfie stick, I’ll forgive you. You’re ridiculous, but I’ll accept a lot of ridiculous. If you have a selfie stick designed solely for taking photos of your own ass we all want to hit you with a crowbar. You might think it’s still worth it, so I’ll put it in your terms: crowbar wounds look awful.

Yeah, this device, the Belfie Stick, is designed to assist you in taking photos of your own butt, in the hopes that you can amass enough Instagram followers to attain a powerless and dubious form of fame. The device was inspired by the ultimate first world problem: Kim Kardashian took tons of pictures of her own ass before getting one that pleased her, and this sort of device would help solve that horrible ail in her life.

Those of you who want the Belfie Stick will have to shell out $79.99 for it, because the manufacturers know that people this vain are suckers.

Check Out Acer’s Selfie Hat for London Fashion Week!

Posted on 18/09/2014 by Hazel Chua

In recent years, people have reached new heights when it comes to vanity. Maybe the era of selfies began when phone makers began putting a camera with each smartphone they made. It exploded when front-facing cameras were upgraded and when monopods (aka selfie sticks) made their way to Amazon.

Someone already came up with the Selfie Brush. Now are you ready for the Selfie Hat? The latter was created by fashion designer Christian Cowan-Sanluis in partnership with Acer. The pink sombrero is eye-catching not only because of all that glitter, but because of an attachment on the brim where Acer’s Iconia A-1 840 tablet is tucked in.

To say that it’s a heavy hat is an understatement. It’s key (and probably only) feature is that the wearer can turn the hat this way and that in order to find the perfect angle for a selfie. The Selfie Hat was on display at this year’s London Fashion Week.

Selfie Brush iPhone Case: Fix Your Hair, Strike a Pose

Posted on 14/09/2014 by Hazel Chua

People have slipped, tripped, and fallen down flights of stairs while taking a selfie. But even those stories aren’t enough to discourage hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people from taking a selfie or two or more a day.

It’s a vain, vain world we live in, and it has given rise to the creation of phone cases and accessories like the Selfie Brush.

The name more or less gives you a clue about the its features and what it was made for in the first place. If you need it spelled out for you, then here it is: the Selfie Case is a phone case with a hair brush and mirror on the other side, so you can brush your locks and fix your ‘do before turning it over and striking a pose for your selfie.

The Selfie Phone case is available for $19.99(USD).

What will they think of next? And don’t say “Selfie Sombrero.”

Star Trek: The Next Generation Cast Selfie Photobombed by Kirk

Posted on 29/08/2014 by Shane McGlaun

I am a big fan of Star Trek, and while I have never been a fan of the original show, I was very fond of all the movies with the original cast from the ’80s. I was however a huge fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I am very much a Picardian rather than a Kirkian.

At the recent Wizard World Chicago Comic Con much of the cast of TNG was on hand and naturally, selfie taking ensued. In this photo snapped by LeVar Burton, we get Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Jonathan Frankes, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn. At least Dorn’s cheek is in the image since he was mostly cut out. In the center of the selfie, you will also notice William Shatner crashing the image, though he’s looking a bit grumpy.

There is also a hapless dude that appears to just be hanging out behind the actors. All I know is that Dr. Crusher still looks good after all those years and Picard looks the same, must be all that Earl Gray tea.
