Yep. This was the idiot the TV news story was about.
Not only was she going 106 MPH on a suburban 55 MPH street (with a pregnant friend in the car) she took that selfie of herself in a neck brace, behind hauled onto the ambulance, with a 'lucky to be alive' caption.
We can take cars away from chronic drunk drivers, I think we should also be able to take cell phones away from these kinds of idiots.
Nope. Buy em a second cell phone. Helps get them out of the gene pool before they do any serious damage to the pool.

I could see doing something like this at our church for a wedding. At our church, the head of religious ed sent out a reminder to parents before the group First Holy Communion stating exactly where it was appropriate and where it wasn't appropriate to take pictures during the kids' First Holy Communion mass.. huh, our priest set up each kid for a shot, alter behind and slightly angled. Parents standing behind and next to the kid. My bil (and dd's Godfather) got the shot for us. Per my request, he stuck it on fb and tagged us. I admit, when we did First Confessions a few months ago, I was appalled by parents taking photos of that. Dh asked me if I wanted photos. Um, no. That's a moment between God, the kid and our priest. How many kids did you have in the class? Our class was probably 60 or so kids, but everyone doesn't FHC at the same time. We always elect out of the group FHC and do it individually at a different mass. Conservatively, I'd say 40 or so kids attended the group mass... We had parents snapping and taping first confession, too. I thought that was over the top. My DD1 didn't even want me to use the same priest she did...(They bring in like 7 priests, mostly retired to listen to all the kids. The parents are also supposed to confess, but some opted not too.)

Not as shocking as have only some guests to be invited to the reception and others just to the ceremony. THAT was shocking!
And I do not see a problem with not taking pictures. Same as please turn your devices off during ceremony. She has long way to go to be a bridezilla! Like making guests to pay for the drinks I am waiting for one where someone would ask guests to pay for the food!
