From The Mail: It has rapidly become the favourite pastime of people all over
the world, but following a spate of deaths Russia has issued a hilarious set of
guidelines for taking safer selfies. Among the advice is not taking a self
portrait with a gun or posing alone in front of a lion. In its new leaflet,
video and web campaign Russia's interior ministry uses road sign style-images
to warn that taking 'a cool selfie could cost you your life.'

From The Telegraph:
A walker who was killed by a bolt of lightning during a thunderstorm on the
Brecon Beacons may have been struck because he was carrying a selfie stick, it
has been claimed.
Two men died and two were injured on the mountain range in Powys, Mid Wales,
after separate lightning bolts in several parts of the park. Sources close to
the rescue said one of the dead men had been carrying a metal selfie stick,
which may have attracted an electrical strike.
This is quite comical. Does this mean I am going to burn in hell for finding
this funny (on some level)?
