GSG Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Texting fountain lady: Shame on mall cops! By Helen A.S. Popkin A week after becoming the National Face (plant) for the Perils of Modern Mobility, Cathy Cruz Marrero (aka "Fountain Girl") is both speaking out, and speaking to her lawyer. What of it? Sure we hate the habit of texting pedestrians — because let's face it, it's as annoying as it is dangerous. That said, our growing habit of dumping humiliating videos on YouTube, with no thought to the unsuspecting "star," is also pretty obnoxious. But since it doesn't hamper our personal egress, then heck, how is it a problem? From Internet users to morning show hosts and cable news anchors, we all yucked it up the first 80 kajillion times we saw the mall security footage of Marrero text-induced plunge into the icy water of the Berkshire Mall fountain. Because, yes. It's funny. http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/20/5885523-texting-fountain-ladys-problems-bigger-than-youtube-fame?GT1=43001 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWtDpGM36J8 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Cathy Cruz Marrero (aka "Fountain Girl") is both speaking out, and speaking to her lawyer. Ha ha! I can see how she'd be embarrassed. But who exactly is she planning to sue? And for what? Quote Link to comment

But who exactly is she planning to sue? And for what? No doubt. I guess her husband has been really pissy about it when he's asked about it on tv. Trying to say how no one was concerned for her well-being, etc etc Quote Link to comment
