Can we really tell what’s going on in these pics? One thing is clear, the President, Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and British PM David Cameron took a selfie at the memorial services for Nelson Mandela.  Yesterday a few more pics from the service went viral and many speculated that the First Lady gave her husband and new friends a side eye and broke up what appeared to be lots of funeral fun.

AFP photographer Roberto Schmidt was responsible for capturing the moment. He spoke out today and insists Michelle Obama wasn’t upset. Schmidt is amazed at all the talk a simple snap has generated. ‘I guess it’s a sign of our times that somehow this image seemed to get more attention than the event itself,’ Schmidt wrote in a blog post.

What do you think? How did they end up in different seats? Are people reading too much into a photo? Should we be taking selfies at funerals?
