There is a bridge in Paris where the locks add so much weight they are causing structural damage to it. The "lock" part of it is creepy and the forever theme is, well, a bit foolish.

When I was in Paris last summer, I was appalled to see the damage done by these locks to those beautiful bridges. I even saw them attached at the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Then I got there and saw guys sitting around selling locks. Commercialized. Then I heard it's become a thing. I think I prefer sweet little private gestures. You know, kind of the "just the two of us" sort of thing. Isn't that what it's about??
