A selfie-obsessed tourist apologized Sunday for posting an online pic of herself grinning at the site of the deadly East Village inferno. After The Post exposed her with a front-page story headlined “Village Idiots,” Christina Freundlich said she was “deeply sorry for my careless and distasteful post.”

“It was inconsiderate to those hurt in the crash and to the city of New York,” she said in an email to The Des Moines Register.
“What happened last week in the East Village is not to be taken lightly and I regret my course of action.”
Freundlich, who worked on both of President Obama’s White House campaigns and served as communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party, was among several people who used the disaster as a photo backdrop.

The displays stirred outrage online, with commenters calling them “disgusting beyond words.”
Modal TriggerNear the site, a neighbor taped a sign to a door.
“THIS IS A TRAGEDY, NOT A TOURIST ATTRACTION,” it read.

Visitor Jeanie Slade, who posted a pic of herself and a pal at the site with the hashtag “#beingtourists,” said Saturday that it was “satire . . . to point out how many people post selfies in inappropriate times.”
Slade deleted her Twitter and Instagram accounts but stuck by her claim Sunday.
“I’m so sorry for any miscommunication and my satire was in poor taste,” she said.

THIS. Like if that was satire, she needs to go back to hs and study up on those vocab words because it just looks like some dumb bitch and her goofy man prancing around happily while peoples' homes go up in flames.

And the first pic with the selfie stick I just can't

New York Post better DRAG those idiots. This selfie obsession has gone too far...

Welp, you have doctors taking selfies in the operating room while procedures are being done, you have EMTs taking selfies in ambulances next to people dying, so sadly I am not surprised at this at all.

"Village Idiots" in that gigantic ass font

Well deserved. I can't wait for those people to be recognized in public... If they don't go into hiding.

The study saying how people who take selfies might be narcissists might be true after all.
The lack of self-awareness.

Glad they are getting exposed and humiliated on front page

I'd be embarrassed and ashamed of myself if that happened to me. Where is the respect?
