Who thought this was a good idea?

Just down the way from Kylie's apartment, you can go get your ass skin burned off. Designers of the recently opened B-Bridge Park threw in some scalding hot molten metal bubbles for children to play on. They have since posted some laminated flyers on a fence nearby warning of the dangers. They say that once the tree canopy fills in, they expect the problem to be alleviated, so only 10-15 years until you can play King of the Bubble on a sunny day!

UPDATE - The bubbles are getting play forts (cheap tents) to protect them from the sun (lawsuits).
