Wow:
A popular trail in Colorado remains closed because people are too selfie-ish.
Waterton Canyon, a Denver park, was closed on Aug. 28 after more bears and their cubs began foraging the woods. After more than two weeks, the park still hasn't re-opened, because too many people are trying to take selfies with the wild beasts.
"We've actually seen people using selfie sticks to try and get as close to the bears as possible, sometimes within 10 feet of wild bears," said Brandon Ransom, Denver Water's manager of recreation. Before it was closed, a bear chased a biker in the canyon.
The obvious downside to continuing to let such visitors in is that eventually the bears would have to be killed. You have to be first world stupid and probably highly educated to be so foolish as those selfie takers.
