I was watching the news and saw that! I'm sorry but I laughed. Sometimes the background is more interesting than the news.

cell phones are a great tool but i will never understand why people use them so much. i mean, why would you WANT to be reachable at all times?

i love how couples go out on dates and spend so much time worrying about what their phone might be saying to them rather than talking with the person across from them.

it's a disease. it's one more way this "globalized interconnected world" makes people even more isolated, lonely, and farther apart. same as facebook - how many "friends" do you actually know?

actually i remember watching a similar thing that happened down in a u.s. mall where the security camera caught a woman texting and walking for about 15 feet before tripped into a huge fountain/wishing pond! haha. she sued the mall but lost i think - but wow was she ever embarrassed on air. it's annoying enough that i have to listen to people on the bus and sidewalk talk on their phone, let alone have to watch out for idiots texting while walking - without even looking to see where they're going.

How about when a teen step daughter gives birth to her child and within mins is texting her facebook account about the news while holding her infant daughter in the hospital bed. True story.
Not only are the devices posing as a health risk for more than one reason they are also part of the responsibility of todays human lacking any empathy for one another.
The other reason is the parent who also owns the similar device and just as much an addict not able to raise their own child to know the differences of realities. Maybe I will tweet on this LOL

That's the funniest thing the CBC has aired in years.

The surprise is that more people haven't been killed where the cause was texting or yacking on the phone. How many times in the day have people walked into or almost walked into me not looking where they are going while texting or yacking.

I bet that woman in the video will not learn her lesson and will be back at the same spot texting away. Is that last text really worth your life ?

meanwhile in Canada...

You can't cure stupid....
I see people texting while driving almost everyday, I just move as far away as I can....

That was awesome!!
