I guess The Story Isn't So Ridiculous After All

Well, it looks like the story the other day about the safe texting street was a bit of a stretch. I guess the street hasn't been officially made safe for all bumbling idiots. A research company found out a lot of people collide with stuff on that street, so set up the padding as a stunt to get attention and arouse debate. Then they took it all down. Well, they got their wish, that's for sure. Newspapers around the world thought the padding was a permanent fixture.
