Lampposts Padded For Injury Prevention
Mar 5, 08 06:51 PM PDT
Isn't this a hoot - the British government has now issued an order to wrap their lampposts in padding just because there have been a fair number of cases where texting citizens did not see where they're going, being too eager to compose a text message about the latest family gossip, only to find themselves seeing stars after walking into one of these numerous public structures. I wonder what kind of padding will be used, and will insurance companies heave a sigh of relief knowing that there will be less claims filed?

I find this hard to believe, anyone that walks into a lamp post, particularly while texting has made a grave error in navigation, they shuold have walked out in front of a bus or truck, preferably before having reproduced.

Errrmmmm....nothing to do with the government. It's one of those stupid "viral marketing" campaigns by a Yellow Pages / search engine company.

Ha! More madness!
They be left to cull themselves.
The race will be better for it.
