Some people will do any thing to get a picture saying i did this !!  plain stupid !

[jwkelly]

Yeah,Youtube is filled with the worst  of the selfie crazy which includes a mounting death toll.

I don't understand this need to out do other people with getting the perfect or the coolest selfie. It's sad that had to happen. Unfortunately I don't think it will stop others.

When Neanderthals are smarter than Modern man you must wonder.

So it turns out that this was in India and the bear was actually injured. The man sneaked up next to the bear thinking he'd get a good shot and was mauled to death. There's actually a video (from about 50 feet away) of him being dragged off by said bear. It's just as stupid of them to just film it. With that being said, my thoughts and prayers are with the deceased.

I just saw the video...there's a dog in it and he's doing more to stop the attack then all these bystanders. The guy being attacked by the bear was actually trying to punch and wrestle the bear. Crazy stuff.

I saw the video too.  Why would anyone want to take a selfie with a bear?  Do they not realize how dangerous and stupid it is?

[JaniceSW]

I feel terrible for the man because it must have been an awful death!!!! However, when do people realize that wild animals are just that and they do what they are born to do?  Really, over a selfie?! People are becoming more and more crazy and distracted by technology.  Balance in all things! Pay attention to what you should and think about matters.  That's why you were provided a brain!

[ghunter]

That is so crazy and it goes to show you just how stupid some people are. SHM....

As my sister would say .... "You can't fix stupid"  ... LOL

He sure learned his lesson which took him to his grave.

Who in their right mind would this.  It is just plain stupid.  Bears are not pets and should not be treated as one.  The bear is not to blame because the man was stupid
