They just show a fantastic lack of imagination - can this bridge really be the most important place in the city for young lovers?

Moi je trouve ca original, et a mon avis, c'est un phenomene de mode qui finira par passer. C'est une caracteristique des grands mouvements: ils finissent toujours par s'essoufler.
