Canada is considered a kind place, but you won\u2019t find the use of selfie sticks on the country\u2019s list of human rights. That\u2019s why the Human Rights Museum was free to ban them. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Art Gallery of Ontario, and the MTS Centre in Winnipeg have also banished the selfie wands from their venues. Canadians may be known for being friendly\u2014until you knock over a priceless piece of history in your attempts for a Twitter selfie.<\/p>\n
France<\/strong><\/h2>\nFrance has no problem telling you where you can put your selfie stick. The Palace of Versailles officially banned the sticks in March of this year, along with Centre Georges Pompidou, the popular contemporary art museum with the same ban. Stick to the baguettes in France and leave the selfie stick at home.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the selfie baton is banned in a number of crowded venues, like the Arsenal and Tottenham soccer stadiums and music venues like the O2 arena and O2 Academy Brixton. This ban is starting to extend to museums as well. The National Gallery officially banned the stick in spring. Overall, try to refrain from whipping out your rod in Britain. How else are you supposed to drink tea with your pinkie up if you\u2019re trying to balance your selfie stick in the other hand?<\/p>\n
Brazil<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nIf you want to know fear, try being an opposing soccer fan in a Brazilian soccer stadium. Soccer is life in Brazil, which makes a loss especially hard to take. This is partly why several soccer stadiums in Brazil have banned selfie rods. Between flying soccer balls and Portuguese insults, the last thing anyone needs is a wayward selfie stick getting into the mix.<\/p>\n
Italy<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nRussell Crowe would gladly boot you out of the Colosseum if you show up with a selfie stick. This ban came about, in part, because a few Americans carved their names into the ancient stone and then took pictures of the desecration with their selfie devices. In Italy, stick to the breadsticks, not the selfie sticks.<\/p>\n

Australian places that have banned the sticks include museums like the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Portrait Gallery.

South Korea<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nDon\u2019t even think about peddling a selfie stick in South Korea. The government has deemed the sticks electronic communications devises due to their Bluetooth\u00ae technology (which allows you to close the shutter without touching your phone). Communication devices must be fully reviewed and approved by the government, which make rogue sticks illegal. And they\u2019re not kidding around. You can pay a hefty fine or go to jail for selling unregulated selfie sticks. No stickin\u2019 it to the man in South Korea.<\/p>\n
