Selfie Stick Disguised As Hand To Make It Look Like You Have Friends
This bizarre selfie-hand designed by artists Justin Crowe and Aric Snee will make sure that you won’t have to take another lonely selfie ever again! Sure, you’ll still be lonely, but your selfie will look like your friend took it for you!
In truth, the project is a wonderful piece of social commentary on “the growing selfie stick phenomenon, and the constant, gnawing need for narcissistic internet validation.” Crowe’s description is merciless; not only does it solve the lonely selfie problem, but “better yet, it doesn’t talk or have emotions of any sort. You can even create fake accounts and use its finger to like all your images; it’s not you, it’s the hand! ‘Selfie arm’ is made of fiberglass, is lightweight and portable, and fortunately only a prototype.”
Read on for Crowe’s answers to Bored Panda’s questions about his work!

“There is a backwardness to the act of taking a selfie – one that ultimately makes you feel more alone,” Justin Crowe told Bored Panda.
“The Selfie arm is a sarcastic Band-Aid to fix that feeling and it also compromises the whole premise behind taking the selfie. These ideas gave birth to the Selfie Arm”
“I have taken a selfie (for research purposes only, I swear) and I liked it. I don’t take selfies very often”
“The Selfie Arm is art-disguised-as-design and we are offering a limited edition of 10 artist signed Selfie Arms at $6,200 each”
Thank you, Justin Crowe, for talking to Bored Panda about your work!

Share on FacebookI was going to say that it looks like Death has come for her and she's right ready to go.

Just get a dildo filled with the ashes of a loved one, you'll be happier ... :/ ... Ashes for Gashes

and the price is absurd. To anyone who'd actually consider buying this, calm your ego and give that money instead to someone who could use a prosthetic arm who's lacking one and just take selfies with your own arm like other people, if you angle things right you can crop your arm out and still get a decent picture of your face ;)
This shows even more how decadent our modern world is.Life is not what it used to be! People seem to be getting more conclusively-aggressive by dissing other people just because they don't have a selfie or are friendless. And when someone says this behavior is wrong, they get called being detatched from reality.
A comment on society at its lowest & most pathetic common denominator. Folks desperate for friends but lacking the personality or social skills to come by one. Watch for more & more examples of such stultifying inanity as society slowly crumbles into tiny little pieces.

It's going to need so ethnic tweaking. It has to come an a color other than death!
Any sociology majors out there, looking for ideas to write for your next paper
Isn't it embarrasing doing such a thing...? I mean, hey, you're carrying a dead arm everywhere...

Making it more bizarre, doesn't it? walking around with an arm/hand o.O
