Pier Pressure


Remember the "good old days" when we were kids.  We did something because someone told us too.  Our parents responded with "if they told you to jump off a pier - would you"?

Lady down in the US is suing Google Maps.  Apparently she has a smart phone and used it to access Google Maps to get walking instructions from Point A to Point B.  The map told her to...walk right across a busy multi lane road without proper sidewalks or pedestrian controls.  The lemming that she is, she blithely and obliviously crosses the road and...yes...gets hit by a car.  Somehow, this is Google's fault?  Goodness gracious, how did she ever make it to adulthood if she was not capable of formulating a logical thought such as "it is REALLY a good idea to cross the street"?
