Engadget had an article today saying that London is testing padded lamp posts for people that are distracted by looking at their cell phone while texting.
Certainly us BlackBerry users aren't stupid enough to run into a lamp post...
According to a recent report, human beings are becoming so incredibly stupid that they require cushioned lamppost bases so that when they run into them they don't mess up their idiotic faces. Apparently, a study in the UK found that one in ten people actually managed to hurt themselves by walking into a post while peering down at their mobile phone screen. The mishaps -- called "walking and texting" injuries -- have spurred the charity Living Streets to launch the padded-post-pilot scheme in Brick Lane, London. It seems that if all goes well, there are plans to roll out the *****-proof system in Birmingam, Manchester, and Stupidton.
Adlen, not only have you reached a milestone on CrackBerry, you've also force the Members of Parliment to protect the lamp posts in and around London from you. LOL

For sure. There was a woman here in Detroit a few weeks ago that nearly got herself killed talking on her phone. She was driving and talking on her phone when she didn't realize that she had just crossed over railroad tracks as a train was coming. The train smashed her car and she's lucky she wasn't seriously hurt.
Us Cali folks are like that too! I always see people on the phone texting and such. Not going to lie, i do that sometimes too but not to that extent where I'm almost hit by a freakin train!
