Police is Omsk, South Russia have taken an interesting approach in their attempts to curb reckless driving: cardboard cut-outs of actor Brad Pitt.
The Omsk police have placed cardboard replicas of the star of such films as “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” dressed as a traffic policeman at the most dangerous city intersections in an attempt to deter drivers from speeding.
Dmitry Ziryanov, the local official who reportedly came up with the idea, said “Brad is kind of like a colleague for us.”
