That's...well...um...interesting?

All I know is fuzzy Pom-poms are not going to make me feel all warm and cozy inside or give me the desire to walk down an alley at night by myself. But, I'm all up for creativity when it comes to attempting to improve crime or beautification of a neighborhood.

It is always a rude shock to realize how different other people really are.

You stop and wonder. But there is just no explaining how they got that way. And not a thing to do about it. Well, maybe ridicule.

I bet these same guys would have to pick up their teeth if someone suggested teaching all the kids Tae Kwon Do.

"In 2009, Layton Burroughs Residents Association used bright pink lights in a Mansfield underpass to drive out unwanted loitering teenagers.

The bright pink lights - also used by beauticians to highlight blemishes - were said to have a 'calming' effect on residents, and were also seen as 'uncool' by teens - not least because the bright beams showed up their acne."

I loved that. *Cackle*

I kind of get the psychology of those fluffy pom poms, though. An ex GF of mine used to keep a packet of tampons on the dashboard of her car, in the belief that a) most car thieves were adolescent boys and b) that they'd see her car as 'yucky female and uncool'.
