They're going to put a net underneath the Golden Gate Bridge? Seriously?
It's going to look like a Trapeze Act!
I already walk across that thing, look down and think to myself, "Shit, I could totally make that."
Now they'll be a net to catch me!
How do you get out of the net? How far from the water is said net? Can cruise ships still get underneath it? Will the silhouette of the Bridge look like it's wearing a diaper? Exectly how many protesters will jump down there to save the starfish? Exectly how many deranged people will throw their kids onto the net? Can they put some lettering on the net hat says "Don't Do it!"? Will the net be filled with plastic balls? Will someone be selling "I just off the GGB and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"? Will the building of this net affect my commute?
I think this net thing is a stupid idea, although I don't know a soul who jumped off the Bridge. But I have seen The Bridge about 1000 times, so I feel like I'm nearing expert status on this sad phenomenon.

I knew the documentary "The Bridge" had a built-in audience that would watch it a 1000 times, but I never could figure out who until this moment. In retrospect, of course, it should have been obvious.
I love the image of the Golden Gate Bridge with Diapers, and thanks to you the GG Bridge District might get creative and start sponsoring "Dive Into The Net" fundraisers as an alternative to bungee jumping. I can't wait.
