Lighten Up Over Selfie

I can't really see why everyone is getting so angry over the leaders of Britain, America and Denmark taking a seflie as they sat at Nelson Mandela's memorial.
The whole stadium was full of South African's waving flags and singing and dancing, it was a joyous occasion celebrating a life, not a funeral so as much as i dislike Cameron and Obama and feel completely indifferent to Helle Thorning-Schmidt, the mock outrage is an embarrassing overreaction although i do think Michelle Obama looks as if she is in a bit of a strop, probably because she wasn't asked to be in it.
If it happened next Sunday when the actual funeral takes place, that could be considered disrespectful and worthy of critcism but otherwise lighten up, jeez, it was a party.

Just seems so over the top to get annoyed at this though. Can't see it in this photo but Michelle Obama looks so ticked off but then she always seems to look angry to me.

i suspect it was a video and someone looked at it image by image until they found an image that is uncomplimentary...

Yep, what a huge pointless fuss over nothing.

Besides, if someone wanted to get angry at Cameron for a real reason, they could have just waited until today instead... Contempt of court! Way to go, Dave!
