Brought to you by social media and the letter 'V' for vanity, the internet has been hard at work meditating on society's most deeply ingrained problems and has come forward with a steadfast solution.

DIY Selfie Sticks

No, it's not another activist hashtag, but DIY selfie sticks are here in all their miraculous, crafty glory. Finally, a counter solution for those among us who don't have the extra cash to fork out on a plastic stick. Or who find committing to the purchase of these ingeniously commercialized items too 'mainstream' or daunting, but who crave their very own super-human arm extension to allow them to take selfies from the most fabulous angles possible.

Custom Social Media Solutions

Whether you're looking to include your stupidly grinning face in your latest holiday snaps (because what panorama of an ancient European cityscape can't be made better with out you throwing ill-advised gangsta hand symbols?), gather the family for a group photo, or you're just looking to give Kim Kardashian a run for her money with cheekbone enhancing angles and sultry body positions not achievable from the length of the average human arm, the internet has a solution for you.

However, I'm sure many people would be just as happy with a complimentary selfie stick - perhaps one conveniently branded with your business name and logo? It would be hard not to get your brand noticed if it were emblazoned across a foot-long pole that is endlessly being enthusiastically shoved in everyone's faces.... Regardless, you have gotta admire the solutions the internet has thrown our way...
