Woman Takes Anti-Selfies Stance By 'Dying' At Famous Landmarks And They're Strangely Hilarious

You go to a famous landmark, you take a selfie in front of it and upload it to Instagram. Soon, your mom and everyone else starts complimenting your looks and the world wonder in the background becomes just that. A background.

But artist Stephanie Leigh Rose has found a way to document her travels while keeping it all about the wonderful sight she’s visiting.

Just take a picture of the landmark. Just the landmark and whatever other people are there. Leave yourself out of it.

I really don't get selfies.

It's when they do dangerous stunts to get that pic and end up getting killed is when it's way overboard.

I'm one of those weirdos that has a dry sense of humor. I blame my Capricorn traits.

Either with a hand or stick…

In any event, I don’t find pretending you’re dead humorous, especially if it pranks those on scene.

Just not funny to me.
