Millennials & Selfie "Free Zones"

I think we need laws to restrict "selfies". Like selfie free zones and cell phone registrations. And the cellphones with camera's should be reclassified as assault cells. These are dangerous/deadly weapons in the wrong hands.






California woman hiking in Michigan falls to death while taking selfie: officials
By Madeline Farber | Fox News

A California woman visiting the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan fell to her death this week while said to be taking a selfie, according to National Park Service officials.

The woman -- who has been ID'd as Tu Thanh Nguyen, 32, of Sunnyvale, California, according to WLUC-News -- was hiking alone on Wednesday.

I disagree! We should encourage all HUYAs (head up your ass) to visit Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan and take selfies on the small red X!

Wow

Decades ago the Park Service put up lots of "protective barriers" along the paths overlooking the shoreline. One would have to be very determined or very clueless to fall.
This does seem to be an appropriate sketch of the current average population.

I’m a big supporter of anything that will increase the pool of potential Darwin award nominees.
