Eeek. It's already an entry for that tumblr, Selfies at Funerals. Obama was photographed taking his own photograph with none other than British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt. They were in attendance at Nelson Mandela's memorial service in Johannesburg at the time, at which Obama gave a speech. Probably not the best time, guys?

First Lady Michelle Obama quickly became a trending topic today after she moved seats to sit in between the world leaders after the selfie, as if putting her husband on time out. That's probably not what was going on there, but it is funny to think about, isn't it?
