“Yes, the world has come to this. In an effort to cut down on selfie-mania — the phenomenon already fueled by selfie stands and selfie-sponsored vacations — one beach in France has created official no-selfie zones. The areas are intended to stop vacationers from posting obnoxious pictures of their designer bikinis, their beachfront cocktails and those dreaded hot dog legs. It’s a serious measure, but it’s got to be taken.
The beach is La Garoupe, a “posh” strip of sand in the south of France where “selfies” are also called “braggies,” for the boastful manner in which they’re often posted. A phone company sponsor has set up signs to mark specific “No Braggies Zones” on the beach.” *
