Life in Russia is likely to be much
less risky than previously, after
the launch of a new campaign
to educate citizens about “Safe
Selfies”.
The promotion aims to reduce
the selfie-related death toll, with
authorities responding to more
than 100 injuries and several
“high-profile deaths” as a result of
people taking snaps of themselves
in precarious positions.
Some of the tragic incidents in
the past twelve months included
two men who blew themselves
up while posing with a live hand
grenade, while a 21-year-old
Moscow woman apparently shot
herself in the head while taking a
picture holding a handgun.
With the catchy slogan “Even a
million likes on social media are
not worth your life and wellbeing,”
snappers are warned that
their “last extreme photo could
turn out to be posthumous”.
The campaign also comes with
some helpful graphics (below)
which remind people that it’s a
bad idea to take a selfie in front
of an oncoming train, while
sitting on power lines, hanging
off a roof, holding a gun, leaning
from a moving car or in the
middle of a road.
