A friend (who can out himself if he feels like it) sent me a link to a company that makes bollards that look like children, in order to help with road safety around schools.

This is all well, and good, except when you put a few of them together...

It looks like the edge of a broken table football game to me.

I give it days until they are graffitied or have alternative clothing placed upon them.

Death Race 2000 FTW!

They don't look like children, just creepy PC dummies. Like, what is with the bald Afro-Caribbean stare-y one behind the initial anaemic /jaunciced sort of white dude?

The creepy scary eyes look like something out of a bad 70's BBC kid's cartoon - Captain Pugwash or Mary, Mungo and Midge, something like that.

Hoi! Captain Pugwash was a good '70s BBC kids' cartoon.

Well, yes. I meant badly animated with the slightly scary staring eyes.

Unfortunately if as kids we had come across these, we would have found them idea for dribbling a football in and out of or something similar.
