Why aren't these everywhere, yet?!: Pong Traffic Light Buttons

You know that buttons you press impatiently while you wait for traffic to stop so you can finally cross the street? Well, Germany has figured out a way to make that whole waiting thing a little more fun by incorporating a game of pong that you play with a player on the other side of the street. Cool, right? It gets better. The box also has an timer that tells you exactly how much longer before the light changes. Video below.

I totally did the airplane thing.
