In a strange demonstration of what we would call supernatural celebrity power, Brad Pitt, or rather his cardboard cutouts seem to be helping ease traffic problems in Russia. Cops in the city of Omsk have placed cardboard cutouts of Brad Pitt dressed as a traffic cop. These cutouts, placed near the most dangerous intersection of the city, seem to have actually slowed down motorists and reduced traffic problems! To quote Dmitry Ziryanov, the Omsk official who came up with the idea, Brad Pitt is “kind of like a colleague for us.”
