Illegal to be deaf in Arkansas

Have you seen this hilarious video?



Ok, admit it, we've all been in a place where we might've bumped into something substantial while texting.

However, to BAN people from using their music devices while WALKING via legislation is Uncle Sam meddling too far into my life.

A proposal in Arkansas would ban pedestrians from wearing headphones in both ears while on, parallel, or adjacent to a street, road, intersection, or highway. You can wear headphones in one ear (headphone) but if you have headphones then it's a $100 ticket.

The two brainchilds behind this whacky waste of time? Ark. Sen. Jimmy Jeffress, a Democrat. He's not alone, N.Y. Sen. Carl Kruger, also a Democrat, has been trying since 2007 to ban the use of cell phones, iPods and other gadgets by pedestrians while crossing the street in major cities.

This is a fail. Incredible waste of a public servants time when there are bigger and more important issues at hand, like banning deaf people from walking alone on the street since they can't hear out of either ear.....
