Let Me Take a Selfie
Posted on by Kolbe
Over the past decade few things have spiraled uncontrollably into all facets of pop culture quite as quickly or abruptly as the "selfie" has. It's been added to the dictionary, demonstrated on the red carpet and now it's even caused the demise of a 126-year-old Portuguese statue. A man climbed onto the statue's pedestal to take a selfie and rather than resulting in a duck-faced profile pic, it ended with the statue of Portuguese King, Dom Sebastiao, shattered on the ground. Authorities were able to arrest the culprit after he tried to flee the scene. He may not have gotten his selfie, but authorities helped him to a nice mug shot.
