London looks to curb "walking and texting" injuries

[treat24]

The story and a funnyish video is here:

London is testing padding things for idiots who can't walk and text...

So you make all the lamp posts and in turn the city ugly so that morons don't hurt themselves? Maybe a good knock on the head is what they need?

Screw the padding, put real sharp things on the dang poles. I'm sure that will stop people from walking into the poles.

I had a professor who thought we should take out air bags in cars and replace it with a large knife.

He thought this would stop all the stupid driving. He was a funny guy, too bad about that accident during that blizzard.

They should electrify the surface of the lamp posts. Don't taz me bro.

Seriously man, this does seem more effective. Cure the problem and not the symptoms.

It seems that if all goes well, there are plans to roll out the idiot-proof system in Birmingham, Manchester, and Stupidton

I'm all for natural selection. Let the stupid people weed themselves out. If they walk out in front of a bus because they're texting... hey, that's one less idiot contributing to the gene pool right?

Maybe that is why they don't know that Churchill was real One too many knocks to the head
