Human beings are becoming so incredibly stupid that they require cushioned lamppost bases so that when they run into them they don’t get a flat face or nose broken. Apparently, a study in the UK found that one in ten people actually managed to hurt themselves by walking into a post while looking 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 idiot-proof system in Birmingham, Manchester, and Stupidton.
==REMEMBER, DONT WALK & TEXT!
