Sadly, the Belfie Stick is Now a Thing

If you thought the Selfie Stick (that stick that attaches to your phone so you can take a better selfie without having to hold out your arm) was a ridiculous invention, you this might make your head explode. It's called a Belfie Stick, and it's almost exactly like a Selfie Stick ... except the arm has a hinge so you can take the perfect selfie of your rear end.

This thing costs $80! $80 for a stick to help you take photos of your rear end to post online. And believe it or not, as I type this, it's out of stock. Yes, that's how many people want this thing.

Check out these ridiculous testimonials from the Belfiestick website:

• “I never again have to take pics in the bathroom. I can’t tell you how many times I've dropped my iPhone trying to take pics. I love it! Thank God they invented belfiestick!”

• “I got my squat game down on lock shooting belfies every day to check up on my progress! I am so totally in love with this product. My girlfriend agrees. It’s totally bad ass!”

• “I can’t believe they invented this. It’s totally insane! Everyone is hurtin' holding their phones, trying to get the right precise angle. Bend over, snap a pic and done! Belfiestick rulez!!!”

I know this isn't going to make me popular with people who use one, but if the Belfie stick is part of your daily life, it's seriously time for a social media intervention.
