Good ad. But more anti social media mobiles should be banned from videmas.

I love the smell of film in the morning.

I've seen this ad many times,
it should be shown in every cinema before any film no matter the rating. Anyone caught on a mobile behind the wheel should be banned for a minimum of 10 years, until this is the case there will be more people killed by twats on mobiles behind the wheel.
So there!

i do like this ad. would be nice to say that if all the texters crashed and died then we'd be weeding out the dumb ones but sadly they always hurt someone else instead. as far as all those people having the phone on in a theater, i think all cinemas should have cell phone jammers. people are so rude during a dark theater all you see is all this glowing light from everywhere.

Here's my car right after some very young girl hit my car:

Here's hers:

I'm sure she was on the phone and speeding down a crowded street. Mine survived and I'm still driving it. It looks like hers is not.

Do few cinemagoers switch off their mobile phones when they are in the auditorium?

My brother-in-law was side swiped last week on a motorcycle by a SUV and the SUV drove off
Before he fell he did notice that there was a cell phone in use but never got the plate number
He dragged himself off the street and called 911
Ended up with broken ribs, spline, and leg. At least he was wearing a full helmet
If more people would just get off the phone

Just watching the video again, how do all the phones go off at the same time? Is it technology in the cinema or what? [Confused]

Excellent video. I would think that before the video they all gave their phone number to participate in the event. This would account for all phones being text or called at the same time. There is software available for blanket calling.
