Ok, I'm sorry, but that was funny as ****, and if I had walked into a mall fountain while I was texting, I would expect that to be on youtube in like 5 seconds. This woman needs to get a sense of humor and be able to laugh at her self, not cry on national television.

SHE FELL INTO A POOL LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Can I ask, "Is she sueing the mall because she did something stupid?" or will I get sued if I ask that?
When did people no longer become responsible for what they do to themselves? I can understand why she should be embarrassed about falling in the fountain, but who caused that to happen?

I didn't read everything on the story, but I'd imagine she's suing mall security for letting the video get on youtube

Fine. She's suing the mall for her falling into a fountain.

Can I please sue HER for being so STUPID?

you heartless bastards. She was texting her birthday to someone from her CHURCH! Everyone knows you get that info from Facebook.


"hey younger generation, don't be stoopid like I did. Don't text and walk. That could have been a bus."

drat.

I was thinking that as well. She feels compelled to let CNN know she was texting a friend "from church". Like that somehow absolves her of being responsible from her own stupidity.

I've heard of people walking into telephone poles and other people whilst texting,...so I make it a point to stop what I'm doing if I need to reply.

Not that it's ever happened to me but if someone bumps into me while texting I'm going to try like hell to "accidentally" knock their phone out their hands.

Wow

If she had just laughed this off like a good sport, it would have stood her in much better stead, a little faux pas is only embarrassing if you make an obvious big deal about it on T.V. She was unhurt and security may have been elsewhere at the time. It's not as if she didn't know it was there, I think it's what you call sleeping on the job.

Compensation in mind I think, she has been advised.

I'm thinking out of court settlement. Give her 60 seconds in that pool to get as many coins as she can.

indeed. She must also be accompanied by a representative from TBOT to, er, assist in grabbing, er, coins of course! I nominate myself, as I already have the gear equipped for underwater debauchery.
