"Textication Nation" Texting While Driving PSA - Is This Video Too Graphic Or Just What We Need?

We live in t he age of technology. Duh. We have created so many new devices and lifestyles that we are struggling in many ways to keep up with and adapt to  our man-made environments.

It was once a very normal thing to do... pulling over to use a pay phone to call someone's land line. But there were obvious inconveniences in that. Then, we created pagers (which I really want to rock again! They're ulta 90's, pager codes are hilarious and they remind me of the more innocent days. Let me not forget to mention The Cool Kids' awesome song, "with a little bit of gold and a pager"). But we were limited with pagers. We had to find a phone just to see who was paging us or decipher bizarre pager codes, ie- 143 (i love you), 43770(hello), etc. And what if we didn't have any change? What if the person paging us is someone with whom we don't want to speak? So we pushed that forward and came up with voice-mail to go with our pagers. You can leave a message and the person you paged can check it from any phone! But this, too was flawed as we learned that we might want to reply to the person that left the v-mail and we want to reply right away. This quickly manifested the bulky cellar phone. Refer to Save by The Bell's Zack Morris (I used to think he was such a hottie) and his gigantic cell phone that was bigger than any land phone today.  And you could use it in your car! Oh how cool you looked driving with your giant phone plugged into your car.

But stopping at cell phones wasn't enough. I mean, yeah, we can finally talk to anyone we want, whenever we want, wherever we want, we can text, leave messages, but can't send emails. I can't take pictures. I can't use it as a motherfucking video camera. These cell phones sure are becoming useless... Quick! Someone do something about it! Thanks!
Ok, so now I can do all of the above plus some with my phone, but how will I ever get where I need to go without GPS? I mean back in the day, people obviously didn't go anywhere, but this is the new millennium, how will I get from point A to B? GPS bitch! It will never stop.

So now you can virtually do just about anything on your cellular phone that you could do with your computer. AND you can do it ANYWHERE!! Yaaay! what new problems could possibly arise from this? I mean, we are basically at the peak of technology advancement, so what would really go wrong? 

Oh! Driving while on that magical little device! Yes! I forgot how important it is to text, make phone calls, fucking blog, search music, etc on your phone while driving 65 plus motherfucking miles an hour thinking your dumb ass is invincible. Nothing is ever enough for us. We learn efficient ways to do shit but then we abuse it and screw it up. Now people are dying all the damn time because of the lack of self control, narcissism, fucking blatant stupidity that is embedded in most people, Los Angeles dwellers especially.  I stumbled on this new PSA Texting while Driving video in which 3 girls are in a car, the one driving is texting and crashes into another car, killing her friends and some of the passengers in the other car. This video is extremely graphic and is made to tug on heart strings with hopes of helping us realize just how severe the consequences of being on our cells phones while driving can be. I personally think it's a good idea. What do you think?

Produced by the Gwent Police Department.

I know, slightly dramatic but it is COMPLETELY REALISTIC! It illustrates the dangers of texting while driving. Americans can only view this video online because currently it has been deemed "too graphic" to air on U.S. television WHICH IS STUPID because this is EXACTLY what people everywhere in the world need to see! I usually give my friends such shit for texting and driving because I don't want to die, especially not like that. I rather die saving a life or doing something heroic. But to go down because of the unintelligence and recklessness of a friend would have me haunting them in my spirit life.  After watching this video, there is no way I’m sending out texts while behind the wheel. The more this film is viewed, the better. Please, if you are severely guilty of this, don't feel bad... well fell bad, but don't get embarrassed. Just stop. Now. Please. You will literally be helping save lives. Do you want to live with blood on your hands?

TIPS THAT SAVE CHICKS #5

DR. LABIA'S TIPS 41-50









41.  Don't be afraid to scope out that hottie's bulge in his pants. They get to scope our goods all the time... Boobs, butt... curves. Look for that bulge. When they're big, it's exciting and creates sexy images. Guys, don't be afraid to fly commando so we can see that bulge. Mmm hmmm. Bulge. And stare hard for a while until he notices... then keep staring until he's rendered uncomfortable.


42. Text Etiquette - Give the realest person in front of you the most attention. Texting while someone is talking to you and only you, is unbelievably rude. I'm not talking about one measly text; I'm talking about having a full on back and forth convo with someone via text every few seconds. You're having two convos at once. The next time someone does that to me, I'm going to literally turn my back to them the next time they ramble about important stuff, then I will engage in a conversation with whomever else is around. Grow some fucking balls, excuse yourself and call them if it's so important. . . Stop having two conversations at once! I should totally take this advice.


43.  When you kiss a guy and he immediately opens his mouth and slips you the tongue, you can be sure that 1. he is only interested in a sexual exchange and/or 2. isn't a very skilled kisser. It's good to let the lips lock and let electricity exchange between the two of you before opening up and swapping mouth fluids. Think of the ocean and it's rhythm. Kissing dogs and frogs is gross.



44. Sexy sexy sexy rules: Wanna be sexy? Grab his "junk" in the midst of an intense hook-up and whisper in his ear and tell him how much you want it, you want it, want it. If he's more of a sadist, beg him please, please, please stop. Mmm Hmm.


45. Guys really hate razor bumps so do whatever it takes to avoid those. Some helpful tips are: Use a fresh razor every time, wax, laser(creepy), use a lot of shaving cream, rinse the razor after every stroke  and for the first day you shave, try not to wear tight synthetic fabrics, try to stick to cotton so your pores can breathe. But, on the contrary, guys need to understand that it happens sometimes and to stop imposing their impossible standards on us women. Fuck you if you think we should have to shave every day or even every other day. Fuck you if you think hairy legs and muffs are intolerable. We wish you motherfuckers could cum on command, very few of you can; do we hold it against you? Nay. Insisting that a woman should always be hairless is like trying to defy the ways of nature. You can't love women but hate their hair, the fact that they get their period, etc. You must love us not for the sum of some parts but as a whole. So stop perpetuating the cycle of self-image issues that torment women and get over it if she has razor bumps or hairy legs every now and then. I like the number 6, which means if I only like 1 and 2 and hated 3, I wouldn't know the number 6. 


46. Attention, Men!!!! Don't shave your pubic areas bare. A little trim never hurt but, DAMN! We don't want to look down and see elementary school boy parts. Scary, unattractive and weird. Bare balls are creepy. Trim, don't shave them. We want to be reminded that you're a man, thanks. While it may make your dick look bigger, it doesn't ACTUALLY make your dick bigger. Pointless, indeed. Keep a little, yes A LITTLE, hair down there and show us who the lion really is. I, of course am not speaking for all women, just the ones who makes sense. I mean seriously, what the hell is going on in your mind when your shaving your ball bare? Stop it. Now. It's okay, you might feel a little embarrassed, but Im actually saving you guys from embarrassing yourselves in the future.


47. Break-ups - When it hurts so much that you think your heart will explode, your stomach emaciated when someone fails you, fear not. This feeling will definitely vanish. What helps? Writing about it. Allow yourself to be completely vulnerable. Sit in your sanctuary and bare your soul to yourself. I write songs, poems, shorts, blogs and it seriously works wonders.




48. Sex Etiquette - Don't ever let a guy cum on your face. Ever. Seriously don't. He'll get over it even though he's a little gross for wanting to in the first place. You're better than that. Love your face. Love yourself.


49. It's quiet on myspace. I still love myspace and I will always have one. I like decorating my page but on facebook, you can really interact with the people that matter most. As much as I hate admitting this, face book is better. There. Ugh. I said it. Don't tell anyone, though.


50. Driving and texting or talking on the phone offenders are still running rampant and it's making me a little sick. I imagine the regrets that will be expressed when you find your car totaled, your passengers dead, and you, crippled. I really hope it was worth responding to asinine conversation that just couldn't wait. You think you're safe. You think you're good at it. Everyone seems to share this delusion of invincibility. Get real. This shit is no joke! People could actually dieeee. And we don't want to dizzie yet!
