POSTER CHILD FOR CELL PHONE SAFETY Firstly, we want to recognize that this should have been up on Friday. But it wasn't.

(Oh, texting and walking, that is!) Click here to see an innocent woman terrorized by a fountain as she tries to text her friend. Click here to see her explaining how she is the victim here. Click here if regular news is a bit stale, and R Kelly could do it better. For this week's Freaker Friday giveaway, we want to get your eyes off those death-trap screens! WHAT YOU'RE WINNING THIS WEEK: This week, our 3 winners will get to choose a poster version of our cell phone wallpaper, as well as a Baberham Lincoln and Hawt Dawg Freaker.

Forever, by definition, is a very long time. People like to market "diamonds" as being "forever," but I don't buy it. Diamonds can be misplaced just as easily as your house keys.
