“It’s sold so well we’ve had trouble keeping it in stock.”
Here's a thing that's quickly becoming a part of our shared reality: human beings — normal, red-blooded, humans, many of them god-fearing — have embraced a new tool of self-expression, designed to enhance our fragile planet's favorite past-time. It's called the "selfie stick" and people are going absolutely crazy over it.
You've probably noticed a few of these new type of photos popping up in your Instagram feed. Much like a selfie, the composition is generally of one or more people mugging for their phone's front-facing camera, only this time these photos are different, taking on what I can only describe as a more dramatic, almost fish-eye quality. Like crossing a photo trend with a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, the result adds a certain level of X-TREME™ to what is, most likely, an otherwise mundane photo. In some cases, it turns an impressive picture into a stunning image.

While the selfie stick's origins seem to come from the extreme sports community — mostly Go-Pro users — the trend is quickly spreading to the everyday, smartphone wielding populace. A quick Instagram search for #selfiestick doesn't return sky-divers and base jumpers, but regular people uploading performance-enhanced selfies of everyday activities. "Just hangin' out by the pool!! #selfiestick." In most cases, the appeal seems to be simply fitting more people into the frame.
