Should we really be encouraging this sort of thing?

The 2015 Burlington tourism guide features a smiling family on the cover. There’s nothing unusual about that. They’re all wearing flip-flops except the youngest, who’s wearing Crocs. That’s a warning sign, but they are at a pool with water slides, so there’s at least a reason for them all to be wearing flip-flops.

The last part, though, is unforgivable. The mother is taking a family selfie.

Ewwwwww.

(The word “selfie” and variants were inescapable this year at the Iowa State Fair and at ISU football. I suppose the real question is how it took that long to happen. A selfie with the butter cow is just sacrilegious.)
