An invention so bad it would make any Shark Tank exec shudder. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present to you the MacBook Selfie Stick.
The oversized cousin of the much-maligned standard device, the contraption functions as a real operating camera, capturing wide-angle views from the convenience of your overhead laptop.

Although it's hard to be shocked by the latest tech trends at this point, this bizarre contraption is not actually available for purchase. The device was instead drafted up by NYC-based artists Moises, John Yuyi and Tom Galle as a satirical commentary on the extremes people go to to capture 'the perfect shot'.
After they assembled the bulky tool, the trio brought it around the city to see how the public would respond.
See photos of the wacky device in action below.
