Bollards of the Damned!

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.

It's like a Torchwood episode

Autons which need to be destroyed!

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.

Place your bets: how long before they're ALL wearing traffic cones?

Nooo! Billy is not a bollard. BILLY is a BOOKCASE.
