This is when doing it for the 'Gram meets DIY. There are people out there so desperate to take a selfie they they are concocting their own homemade selfie sticks, and they are ridiculous.

Since selfie sticks are being banned by museums, musical festivals, and entire cities, maybe these people are actually geniuses; the signs don't say anything about Slim Jims being forbidden.
Check out some of the most ridiculous homemade selfie sticks below.
