OMG, 2 LOUD 2 TLK - F’N TRAIN
August 22nd, 2007 Posted in Design, Observations
Okay, I know I shouldn’t laugh when another human being is injured or killed. Most of the time it’s no laughing matter. However, there are times that you really have to wonder how we, as a species, have collectively occupied the planet for so long. Not that I subscribe to all things Darwinian, but seriously, get this man an award.
How in the world are you so involved in sending a text message that you get hit by train? I mean, short of an aircraft carrier or oil tanker, there aren’t many other mobile objects larger or louder, for that matter, than a freight train. That’s like a rolling jumbo jet sneaking up on you.
Although I can just see the new iPhone ads now…

I met one of the guys who had to help clean this poor kid up. Said it wasn’t pretty. There was two trains, when the first one went past he started to cross the tracks and hadn’t seen the 2nd one coming from the other direction which was hidden by the first.

I can’t imagine that it would be a pleasant experience. He is lucky to be alive.
Did that happen near you?

I know I can be easily distracted while texting..but that is ridiculous! I just avoid menial tasks, like shaving my legs or driving…

What kind of effin’ train station is this? In the train-stations around these parts, you’re absolutely warned NEVER to cross the tracks; you always have to go down stairs and tunnels and what-not to move to different platforms…
Part of me thinks “poor guy”!, and another part of me laughs maniacally…

The ad is great…but would the teens today get the point?

I think they would…if they watched the news.
It’s a flash in the pan anyway, but I felt it needed done.
