In a 'selfie' obsessed world, this guy could easily clinch the award for the 'when-not-to-take-a-selfie' award. The selfie of a man, with his deceased uncle in the background, seems to be raising quite a few eyebrows on social media. The caption accompanying the picture reads, "My peiriya Appa (uncle) passed away", followed by the 'feeling sad' smiley. The photograph was posted by the person on a social networking forum. Once it began trending on social media, the man, whose Facebook account states that he is from Sri Lanka, took down the photograph from the page. However, screenshots of the selfie had already made its way to the internet by then.TweetFollow @thenewsminute
