20ft statue relocated due to people texting

[Still Waters]

A massive 20ft statue of two clasped hands had to be relocated after people texting on their mobile phones kept walking into it.

The sculpture, called 'The Kiss', was only put in place last weekend, but within days those in charge of the exhibition noticed walkers on the path were bumping their heads as they walked through the archway underneath.

Made from galvanised steel wire, The Kiss had a 6ft 4in gap underneath the two hands that pedestrians could walk through.

Sometimes I wonder how humanity has managed to last this long.

For some people. their only reality is that phone, at the expense of everything around them. Never got texting myself, takes more effort to type on that little screen than just calling someone, taking care of business and being done with it, rather than go back and forth like passing notes in high school

And a little more of my faith in humanity disappears.

Or, people could pay attention to something besides their phone.

But, that's absurd right

At one time in human history people were put to death for discoveries advancing mankind forward...

Today idiots walk into statues and it's the statues fault...

We truly are an odd species

If people are so stupid and inattentive that they crash into something right in front of them then that is THEIR problem and it shouldn't be anyone's responsibility to move them so these idiots can keep mindlessly staring at their stupid screens while they play games or yak about stupid stuff that they never would have bothered to talk about before they had the devices.

I say we put spikes on the statue instead so we can level natural selection take its run
