Dumbest app ever?

Apparently there's an app that helps dopes cross the street while using their smartphones.

Cleansing the gene pool comes to mind.

Oh boy! Can't wait to see what we're reduced to 25 years from now. I think I died inside a little when I read the article. Can't tell you how many times I've been ran into in public (grocery store, mall, etc) by someone with their head pointed down, or they decide to stop all of the sudden in pedestrian traffic to get on the phone. Now we're making it acceptable.

The scary thing is, these same people are the ones that get in their car and drive doing the same thing. This is just another example of how our society accomodates people that cannot (rather, refuse to) take care of themselves or contribute to said society. You don't see this happen with other species. In other species, if you're stupid, you die off. With us, you get a check

(OK, rant over)
