## Transcript

What is going on with this selfie craze? People can't stop taking pictures of their own face. Someone needs to do something about it, and today, that person's gonna be me. Come with me when I set up some No Selfie Zones in New York City. Hi Ma'am. How are you? Hi! I see you're taking a selfie. [ MUSIC ] Oh, that's embarrassing. You guys look adorable, but unfortunately this is actually a no- selfie zone. We didn't take a selfie. We didn't take a selfie. He took- I think I, I saw it, and my eyes don't lie. There are some signs up. They're all on the perimeter. It's actually a $ 50 fine. It's actually a $ 50 fine.

What? The whole selfie culture has gotten out of control. People are leaning over like. Trying to make them really exciting, and then they fall in. As a matter of fact, there's been some near drownings. Yeah, right now it's just something that we're, we're starting. And by we, I mean, I mean me. Deglazio he doesn't know about it yet. We're just trying to keep like the, the vanity out of the park. You look so pretty, and I get why you'd want the picture, but. It's dangerous, it's vain. The sanitation department takes out garbage. Like, I like to think of myself as the sanitation department. I'm garbage?

No, no, no. You're perfect. The money is going to girls with low self esteem because they're not photogenic. I noticed you guys are taking a family selfie. So I might have to give you double the fine. Were you going to put a filter in that picture? I was thinking about it. Yeah, people don't really know if your skin is that flawless. There's a lot of girls that have. You know, eating disorders, and like facial dysmorphia. And you know skulliosis. Cause of selfies. It's nice thing. It is a nice thing, it is a nice loss. [ FOREIGN ] They speak french. Oh, does anyone speak french? No selfies allowed.

Here. Can we just delete the picture? You could delete it in front of me, and I'll let you go this time. Okay. But I have to see you delete it. Can you delete that picture for me? I, I'm going to have to make sure you're doing it. I just want to make sure they're not uploaded to Instagram because my supervisor will freak out. Oh yeah. If I let you go. Stop taking pictures of your face. [ INAUDIBLE ] calling back again. I've arrived in a new location. I actually have a 1099 so I have to go. What are you gonna do with that? I was gonna write you a ticket. Oh not me. [ LAUGH ] Oh really? I'm gonna run from you.

On your mark, get set. Hold, wait wait hold on. I'm gonna need some backup. 5 0. 5 0. I can't have her acting like she's park enforcement. You know there's a guy in the park picking up all the money? No way. You know what, leave it. Those are people's wishes. Leave it. You're not security, you need to back away right now. This is, security or not, it's still wishes. [ MUSIC ] And hopes and dreams. I can let you off this time. Okay. Promise me you will do no selfies. Oh, I don't know. In this area of the park. Do you want me to take a picture of you? Not at this point. Want me to take a picture of you guys?

Yes. Okay. Beautiful. Beautiful. Welcome to America. You guys gotta go. Thanks. [ MUSIC ]
