I blame reality TV, for all of the crazy people doing anything to get attention these days.  Apparently a man was bit by a snake, after trying to take a selfie.  People today are so interested in themselves, and selfies, and social media, that they often miss the real world around them.  This man was literally bit by a snake, and still posted the selfie, and was more worried about how many "likes" he would get rather than his snake bite.  It sets a bad example for kids, all of these "challenges" their doing. and, walking down the street , paying more attention to their phones, than the road.
