Just in time for Valentine's Day - traffic officials in Chengdu, China, came up with this idea of making crossing a road more romantic:
A spokesman said the local traffic bureau wanted to give the crossing a romantic atmosphere because it was close to the Hejiang Pavilion, a popular dating venue for young couples.
"We want to make everybody who walks on it feel warmth and love from others," said the spokesman, adding that it was believed to be the first crossing of its kind in the whole country.
"We have two wishes - one, that all who walk on it experience long-lasting love and, two, that they obey traffic rules and cross safely."
whenever i see things like this in our society, i think first and foremost of the lonely, awkward, and unattractive guy...who walks across that that crosswalk and thinks maybe, for a second at least, about taking a quick-sharp turn into the middle of the intersection and letting the on-coming traffic bludgeon the life out of him.

Awful. In Chinese would be better. I went to Chendu just a few months ago, a comfortable city.

Maybe that lonely guy will start crossing and see a lonely girl and it will be awesome like a movie. Don't be so negative!
