Say goodbye to selfie sticks

[Skanky Vamp]

Selfie sticks are pretty embarrassing, and no one knows that better than a Japanese guy named Mansun who ‘made his arms longer’ to get the perfect photo (without getting judged).

Mansun’s selfie arms were built by cleverly attaching a pair of selfie sticks onto a pair of plastic hands. He then hid these under a shirt which was modified to accommodate the long arms.

In a post on local site Omocoro, Mansun details how he tried out his invention out in public, and hardly anyone even noticed! He adds that the elongated arms even helps capture tall structures like Tokyo’s Sky Tree.

Cleverly attached? more like he's a flaming idiot. Have a close look at his left hand in either picture the thumb is in the wrong place on the hand.

Reach for things. Either to help people, or to freak them out... what a multifaceted invention, I bet we'll all have some by the end of the year 😀 😉

Made me think of this.

Must be great for those hard to reach itches.

Or he could tell the classic 'I caught a fish and it was this big' story.

Or do the 'big box, little box' dance moves- if he wants to be retro.

It reminded no one else of that scene in Nightmare on Elm Street where he stretches out his arms and they look exactly like that?

This is the first thing I thought of
