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.

Ha ha! I can see how she'd be embarrassed. 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

 
Read the linked article. This woman is suspected of theft to the tune of thousands of dollars. No wonder she has a lawyer!

I didn't see that update till now! She would've been better off just keeping her mouth shut!
