Just When You Thought The Selfie Craze Had Reached Rock Bottom, This Happens

Just When You Thought The Selfie Craze Had Reached Rock Bottom, This Happens




Introducing, the Selfie Toaster: just in case you can’t make it through breakfast without looking at your own face.

As Mashable reports:

Vermont Novelty Toaster Corp. has been making image-burning toasters for four years. It specializes in sports logos and last year had a big hit with Jesus toast, but company President and CEO Galen Dively had long dreamed of making truly customized designs, including toast with peoples face on it. It was, until recently, an impractical dream.

I wonder why they can't just come up with a plate you can drop into any toaster with your bread.

I like it! Wouldn't waste a dime on it but, hey, it's good for a laugh.

Actually I thought it was going to be a post about the latest mormon thing going on lately... They are promoting a week long "selfie project" (or whateverthehellthey'recallingit) where mormons are being urged to take selfies with their "book o' Mo"...

It's all the rage on the one mormon owned/operated radio station (NPR affiliate) that is accessible in my area.

This is soooo much better!

It would make a great practical joke, reaction video watching someone butter up
their Goatse toast.
