In Russia, selfie takes you, prompts official “safety selfie” warning

On Tuesday, Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs unveiled a new public health program to reduce deaths and injuries caused by people taking dangerous selfie photos. The "Safety Selfie" campaign warns Russian citizens that their "health and life" are worth more than "a million likes on social networks."

Included in the campaign is a series of cartoon warning signs that depict dangerous scenarios in which someone might take a selfie.
