As we speak, someone is posting a selfie of him/herself next to a shark.

Ever been to a party that had little hors d'oeuvres on toothpicks? When you take a selfie with a shark, using a selfie stick, that's exactly how they see you. Just another little hors d'oeuvre. btw, I had look up how to spell
hores, hordervethat French word.Posted by: nursecindy | September 22, 2015 at 04:37 PM
Selfies with sharks should be encouraged; also with grizzly bears and wood chippers.

By coincidence they had a poor 12 year old boy bitten by a shark in Florida yesterday.
No word on whether a selfie was involved.

Is this smarter/dumber that the guy who took a selfie with a rattlesnake ? I'm undecided.

I like the SELFANADO concept. Should be directed by M. Night Shamadamadanan.

Uh... I have read this twice and I am still not sure if this is a reprint of an article from "The Onion" or "Cracked" or the real thing. The line between reality and satire grows ever thinner.
I can see banning this at a running of bulls, or even a waddling of particularly energetic geese (although if it were me, I would rather have a contest for "Best Death Selfie" to weed out the imbeciles that would do this from the gene pool), but who is being saved by banning this at Comic-Con?? "A Trekker was trampled to death today while taking a selfie with a Klingon cosplayer in a low-cut leather dress during a stampede of Browncoats trying to get to a last-minute 'Firefly' panel" I feel safer already.
