Russia, whose leader apparently is alarmed by how quickly his country is depopulating, has issue the following rules for taking selfies. As you would suspect, this is a list of “don’ts.” I assume this list will grow as ordinary Russians gain more experience with taking selfies:
When taking selfies:
1. Don’t stand on railroad tracks.
2. Don’t climb onto roofs.
3. Don’t pose with a tiger.
4. Don’t pose with a gun.
Presumably these are all “tried and true” self-elimination tactics. On our side of the pond, you could add, “don’t light fireworks on top of your head.” Click here for story.
