No I'm not picking a fight, because that's more ridiculous than pads on a lamp post. How ironic. And people should not be texting while walking down a street any way, don't they have anything better to do? Is there a problem with calling the person? The conversation would go by a lot quicker I can tell you that right now, three hours of texting one person is the equivalent of a ten minute phone call, unless you have lightening fingers, then it's probably the equivalent of a one hour phone call.

A company called 118118, which is a directory enquiries service aimed at the 18-35 market in the UK sponsored the idea. If you see a front on shot of the padding, you'll see their branding. They pushed the story all over the traditional and digital news with some statistic that lots of people were getting hurt while texting on the move. Looks like it's working as well... just not in the right way as we Brits do, on the surface of articles like this seem a bit dumb! This story is actually an advertising stunt.
