Before twerking, there were selfies. Why have someone else take a photo of you when you can take it yourself? And sure you might as well pucker your lips or pull another "hilarious" face while you're at it.
The Tumblr blog Selfies at Serious Places takes the phenomenon one step closer to crazy. Rather than taking selfies at home or with friends, the blog documents selfies taken in really, really inappropriate places.
Like next to a house fire
Near a homeless bum
At the 9/11 memorial
Beside the Berlin Wall
At your grandmother's funeral
In Chernobyl
At the Holocaust Memorial
