I like taking selfies. These guys should have not ruined it for the rest of us.
1. There was once a simpler time when politicians were not aware of the “selfie.”

And we liked it like that.
2. Then suddenly:
Senator Tim Kaine @timkaine Follow
.@TheEllenShow inspired @MarkWarner and me to take some selfies w/ VA small business owners at our coffee this AM
5. Yes, Tim Kaine, that is just like the Ellen selfie. Nailed it.
6. Honestly, it is just really, really awkward to watch.
7. We don’t care if some kid just runs up to you and wants a selfie because you’re famous.

Took a selfie with the president of France && @Foreverjadaa_
9. It is when you just take one in your boring day for no reason and force it on us.

Cosham bowls club survives despite PCC withdrawing support.They want you to know they are looking for new members
11. You clearly have a staffer available to take a photo of you taking a selfie.
12. But you just want to ruin the selfie for the rest of us.

15. Or from this angle?
Tim Scott @SenatorTimScott Follow
First #selfie! Great to see the kids from the Georgetown School of Arts and Sciences in DC today.
18. Or if you are somewhere super cool we didn’t know you were.

20. But it is a problem when you bring the selfie into your boring life just to ruin it for all of us.

What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama
22. NO.
23. This is actually what we are all thinking:
24. The selfie is meant to be unpolished.
It’s a unique social tool that we enjoy because it connects the user and the audience in an unpolished, personal, and often impromptu way. When your selfie goes through bureaucratic levels of office approval and hand-wringing, it saps the very nature that made the selfie a cultural phenomenon in the first place. This certainly is not the first time that an entity of the government has reached out for online relevance and fallen short, and it certainly will not be the last.
25. Most of us just wish politicians continued using the technology they are most comfortable with.
Bill de Blasio @BilldeBlasio Follow
Selfie! cc @alroker.
27. Dictators take selfies these days. So, unless you’re just being nice or doing something cool, just stop.
