I agree that these things are "self obsession sticks" in most cases. But, if I were on vacation to Disney, I would want to bring back photos of myself and loved ones at the parks. These selfie sticks can be useful for that purpose. Most of the time, one person is left out of the picture because they are operating the camera. Unless you want to carry a tripod around and use the camera's timer, the only other way to get photos of you and your loved ones all together would be to pay Disney's absurd prices for them. This may be what's behind the banning of these sticks more than anything else.
