Dear Obama: Funerals Are No Place for Selfies

It looks like Barack Obama has taken a few pointers from Sasha and Malia on his selfie game.

The president was caught snapping a photo with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Tuesday.

It's unclear which of the three is the true selfie instigator, but one thing's for sure: Michelle Obama is not impressed. Judging by that facial expression, Obama might want to focus his attention on the memorial service instead of perfecting his duck face if he doesn't want to sleep with Bo tonight.

Didn't anyone show the world leaders this unfortunate Tumblr ahead of time?

On the bright side, it looks like Obama's selfie might put an end to all funeral selfies. The owner of the blog is apparently calling it quits.
