I just watched this public service announcement marketing gimmick, and it makes me very afraid to text while I drive.
From what I understand, if I text while I drive, 2 of my bffs will be ‘brutally killed’ in a car accident. I will also kill some lil kid’s parents and leave the child orphaned. Jesus. Feel overwhelmed, like I would have a lot guilt 2 live with 4 the rest of my life if I was in some sort of text-driving accident. Like texting while driving is possibly ‘more dangerous’ than drunk driving or something, because u don’t really ‘consciously remember’ a drunk driving accident.
It seems like the theme of this video is that ‘people need to stop text driving because cleaning up accidents means that the government wastes tons of money.’ If text-related auto accidents are worthy of punishment, I believe that we shouldn’t do so much to try to save these horrible people. It seems plausible that we should not utilize the jaws of life to save the criminals, but instead we should possibly transport them to be ‘burned alive within their car.’ Based on the feelings of h8 and anger that this video evokes, I feel like this would be a fair, cost-effective punishment.
I am not sure if it is kewl to do ‘other shit’ while driving. Tons of pundits say that ur supposed Some state laws don’t even let u talk on the phone while u drive. It makes me sad that our nation is s000 dependent on cars. People don’t realize that if we cut out the ‘gas guzzling bullshit’ we will cut our ‘dependence on foreign oil.’ As yall know, the only reason that the dark side of the world has any influence is because they are chilling on top of most of the world’s fossil fuels.
Can’t believe Public Service Announcements have 2 be ’s000 graphic’ in order to get people’s attention. I wish that people still had ‘good parents’ who ‘taught them life lessons’ instead of just buying them a video game console, a cheap desktop computer, and meals from fast food restaurants. Advertisements like this really make me feel like ‘the world is ending’ or like I legitimately have ’something to be afraid of.’
Worried that I’m going to die at the hands of a tween who is sending a text while driving.
Srsly need to move to ‘the city’ so that I don’t have to drive, and I can just
Do yall rlly think that texting is so dangerous?
Worried that I’m going to go to jail for using my phone when it is ’seriously an emergency’ even though I am driving.
h8 laws.
Wish we lived in a perfect society where ppl didn’t even need cars and we didn’t need oil from the Middle East.
Teens ruin everything. :-(
Does n e 1 know why European people drive on the wrong side of the road?

Is ’sexting while driving’ more/less/equally safe than ‘conventional (non-sexual) texting’??? Kinda worried that if my BFFs die while I’m sexting, my messages might end up on TV.

I know his is more funny and all, but I think Mr. Carlos stole my “texting and driving” post from my blog post yesterday. He did it better though and at a better perspective. Kind of feel honored. Like I’m not “entry-level” anymore. Maybe 1 step past “entry-level”.

Feel like in Canada our psas are more ‘authentic’ and ‘horrendous’. In the following commercial we acknowledge ‘workplace accountability’ while being ‘fucking gruesome’ at the same time.

OMG! Carles said “pundit”! It’s upbeat and uberhip to see that the blag has transmogrified into a shrewd poly-sci omniverse. Or is it an assimilation of dead language pop culture into the hipster lekxsikon. Really pushing it with these hawkish outs! I’m excited for the phuture!

I’m too poor to own a car because I spend all my time reading this blog instead of looking for a job. So instead I ride the bus, and text all my skeezy broke-assed friends who also ride the bus. So in away Carles, your saving my life.
