New Jersey Legislator Proposes Jail Time for Texting Pedestrians

[maskedmelon]

We can all get behind this right?

We've all experienced the hordes of lobotomized pedestrians, societal nuisances mired in the purgatory between the material and digital realms of their favorite i-Device. Their gluttonous smart devices having devoured every shred of their intellect thirsts for more as they lumber stupidly along urban thoroughfares once frequented by slightly less in and creatures. We've all been there.

Well, a legislator from New Jersey has decided to do something about it with the introduction of a new provision in her state legislature. $50 fines for regular offenses and 15 days jail time for repeat offenses. [i]Finally[i] a government has found the testicular (ovarian?) fortitude to legislate morality. Yay!
