I went to Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan earlier this month and saw a lot of people with selfie sticks. The funny thing was, almost all of them were easily recognizable as Chinese or Korean.

Considering their staunch "Awwh! I'm not really bothering anyone..." mentality, theme parks are going to have a hard time convincing them to not use them.

Being honest it isn't so much the selfie stick itself that's the problem. Yes the name is stupid, but as a tool it could be useful.

The problem is the users. They have no respect for the people around them and think the world revolves around them, so they create problems. Probably standing in line using it, creating hold ups, or worse using it on rides like morons. It's like those idiots that will stop in the middle of foot traffic and stand in everyones way while they talk to each other instead of stepping aside.

Can't blame them entirely. They called it "selfie stick" to target idiots, and it's pretty clear they hit their target market.

Which is the best selfie stick?

There are currently more phone-holding monopods on the market than you can shake a stick at. But not all are created equally, so The Guardian put them to the test.
