I dare you, use the Extendable Hand Held Tripod

Don’t ever get caught using this device unless you are in a situation where the ‘stick-your-arm-out-and-curl-hand’ method can’t possibly work. If anyone ever sees you, just be ready to be the butt of everyone’s joke. You look like a complete geek (not the fun geek, the weird geek) and the pictures can’t be improved that much. The Extendable Hand Held Tripod (which isn’t really a tripod) is on Amazon for $19.99, a perfect gag gift for that preteen niece of yours who rips through that 2GB SD card in about 30 seconds with self portraits. It can extend up to 18″, which is leaving your personal space, and can close to be 7.5″. Amazon says it’s idea for overly large crowds, the only way I can see this is if your are using it as a bat because in an overly large crowd, no one is wanting you to take your self portrait. — Nik Gomez
