So you think the (celeb?) woman in original photo in the sea at sunset flicking her head back so that the water and her hair perfectly frame the sun behind her actually set a timer on the beach and then ran into the sea to take the shot, and then did the same thing 10 times, until she got the shot right - or is it more likely that someone else took a load of photos from the beach? (making it a portrait not a self portrait)
Same goes for the gravel pit. The angle does not suggest that the celeb in that shot had set up her own tripod and self timer and then started rolling around in her underwear in a quarry. Just because selfie is the latest fad keyword doesn't make these selfies. (although there are some in the source story)
The celebs can probably find someone to help them take a photo.
Pretty basic stuff here Zeon. ;) yes I know I'm pedantic but hey this is the internet after all. For what it's worth the recreation photos are funny (and may even be selfies, who knows).
My only observation was that it was quite funny to title an "article" as being about parodies of "celebrity selfies" and then illustrate it with photos that clearly weren't "selfies" by any stretch of the word.
None of these (with the possible exception of the last one) are selfies though - because the subject of the photo isn't taking the photo, which is the definition of a "selfie". These are just what we used to call "photographs".
@Rebeccah - not everyone has the art skills to make one of these with their own felt. You are paying for the artist's (nice looking) designs that they probably spent a few hours designing, as well as the hour or two that it will take them to make the item for you, and also the time it takes them to converse with you, print the shipping labels and post it. So although some people could make their own with their $2 felt, it probably wouldn't look as nice, and they probably have other things they would rather do with their time. Some people like to support craftsmen and women that will hand make something for a fair wage (relatively locally, ie. not China), something that is also relatively exclusive (given that the seller is unlikely to make tens of thousands of them). FYI.
The debt level is so high here in the UK, that they can't afford people to get out there and help. I'm surprised they can afford the lightbulbs. (although they seem to be able to afford billions for the Olypics)

(I guess it's worth spending 5 seconds googling before you correct someone on the Internet Reis)
A young baby fox can be called a cub, pup or kit.
All are acceptable. (In the UK they are called fox cubs)
Just sayin'.
(In the UK we say "burgled")
