Aug 20 2008Bus Stop Seating Just Got Swingier!
Bruno Taylor modified a London bus stop with a swing (and, quite possibly, a MacBook Air ad). But just one, so you'll have to wait your turn or double up and have a stranger's privates dangerously close to your butt. As you can see, there's a cute girl on the swing, and based on the angle of her dangle and facial expression, she's having a good time. So, yeah, whee. Add a slide and a guy soliciting free candy, and you've got yourself a playground.

Dude! This is a roebrs new favorite thing. I mean c'mon. Driving by with a convertable or the window open and BAM you swing right in, take their shit and probably crash too. But who cares you got in the car.
Be careful though you might break your neck or something. And if someones windows are extra clean, and you don't see the window is closed and you try to swing... then.. we all know what happens next.
