Texters require protection from mean streets of London

Walk and text in fear no more. Engadget reports that padded lamposts are being tested on Brick Lane in London, apparently the most dangerous street in the nation for people walking and texting at the same time. Fortunately, here in the States our sidewalks aren't arranged so "higgildy-piggildy." Aside from being completely absurd, I'm more surprised the idea hasn't already been turned into a huge ambient campaign in Times Square for AT&T. Dibs.

Check out the great acting in the video.
