    Woman falls into fountain at a mall

    http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/cat...e-2749367.html Some people needs to put it in their heads, that walking and texting does not mix.

    She claimed security staff failed to help her after she fell in. It looked like she got out almost as quickly as she fell in. Didn't appear she needed any assistance getting out.
    I'm sorry, but I laughed!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I saw that on the news tonight. She seemed a bit put off that everyone had seen the video. Too bad she was more interested in texting than watching where she was going.

    It was a great lesson for those who think they can do two things at once, when one thing is staring at your phone.

    It's also a great lesson in being careful what you're doing in ANY public place, if you don't want to find yourself being YouTubed around the world.

    For this woman, it goes from bad to worse -

    The problems continue to pile up for the Pennsylvania woman who became the unwitting star of a viral video after she fell into a mall fountain while text messaging.

    In the hours that followed Cathy Cruz Marrero's appearance on "Good Morning America" today to talk about the fall and its aftermath, she was in court for a status hearing on charges of five felony counts, including theft by deception and receiving stolen property.

    I hope the first judge that gets a chance throws the case out. Sorry, lady, it's called personal responsibility.

    Her leg went up WAAAAAY too quickly for it to have been an accident.

    I see "SET UP" and a frivilous lawsuit on it's way. I hope the mall enters the video into evidence, which clearly proves it was staged, and the judge tosses it out.

    You're right - no one was close enough to her to render assistance before she was already in and out!

    What a Moron.......

    I sure wouldn't want to meet her on the road. If she can't walk & talk on her cell she sure can't drive either. Had to laugh too.
