Disney World has joined the ever growing list of organizations to ban selfie sticks. The ban which goes into effect this coming Tuesday and will be implemented at its Disney World water parks and DisneyQuest gaming park in Florida.
The Hover Passport self-flying camera drone is finally available to purchase for $549.
If you're spending more than $10 on a selfie stick, you should just be ashamed of yourself.
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.
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.
The world's a better place without selfie sticks!
Ok Disney, how about this branch I found on the ground? Can I hold this up and ducktape my phone to it? Fight the power! its what walt would have wanted! xD

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.
