The Dangers of Selfie Sticks – PSA Parody
This PSA parody warns people to stop abusing their selfie sticks.
Apparently, self-obsessed people will go to any lengths to top other selfie addicts. This results in longer selfie sticks, and increasingly dangerous situations.
via YouTube.
The video ends by asking viewers to “please selfie responsibly,” an aptly-timed message considering Disney World’s recent ban on selfie sticks at the theme park.
This social commentary is a cleverly disguised Pizza Hut ad.

Walking in Memphis
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a charity barbecue cook-off in Memphis.
Turns out I was there the night B.B. King died. Here is a picture at his bar that night.
The group I was with was relatively small … but accounts for a large portion of the daily ag trading volume on the exchange. As a technical trader, it was interesting to listen to them discuss fundamental trading techniques (like crop forecasts and weather forecasts). But I wasn't ready for what I found when I visited one of their offices.
