The video looks obviously staged, but I do see people around Auckland, heads down, texting and walking into things (and people) . :groan:

But if you think walking into poles is your biggest worry texting while walking down the street, then you probably haven't seen that bus coming down the street!!!

Gotta love natural selection! Go Darwin!! :thumbs:
