You're driving down the street -- perhaps a little faster than the speed limit allows -- and you see Brad Pitt on the side of the street. What do you do?

Russian police are hoping that you'll slow down to catch a better look. One of the country's newspapers reports that police are placing cardboard cutouts of the Benjamin Button star dressed as a traffic cop next to the most dangerous intersections in the city of Omsk. Their goal is to reduce speeding, since car accidents in Russia are some of the highest in Europe. A local official says Pitt is "kind of like a colleague for us."

So far, police are seeing results. Thanks to Brad's sexy gaze, the number of accidents is actually on the decline.
