Russian Roulette, Bulgarian-style
Russian roulette is being writ large across busy intersections in Bulgaria. A new gambling fad dubbed ‘Russian Road Roulette' (RRR) involves crazed drivers, busy intersections and paying punters. SMS messages alert punters and participants of the next intersection, bets are placed, and competitors drive through against red lights, swerving if required to avoid pedestrians and right-of-way motorists. According to RRR rules, drivers must not touch the brakes, or crash into cars or pedestrians. Punters who back a winner stand to make as much as $8k a round. And so far, only two deaths have been attributed to the new ‘sport'. Ridiculous.
