Texting while driving PSA; is it too brutal?

Is this too much brutally? Or does it get the point across?

I have never seen a fatal wreck in my life; it looked pretty distrurbing to me; hopefully I never see one.

Sadly, some peeps, especially the "I'M bulletproof!" youngsters, could actually witness a texting-caused crash resulting in children screaming as they burn to death and entrails hanging from power lines and they STILL would text merrily as they roll along.
Yesterday, on my way to The Fox and Hound, I was behind (Thank God,) a young bimbo in a little rice rocket. She was all over both lanes and her car showed evidence of previous mishaps.
I stopped beside her at a stop sign, looked over, and sure enough...Texting. The messican flag (see: Buzzard humping an earthworm) sticker on her backlight made more sense at that point.
Her window was partly open so I'm sure her ears are still burning from the "lecture" I delivered.

posted this on a thread about a month ago. i don't think that PSA was brutal enough:

kinda read a few of the posts...

i live in fairport, ny (suburb of rochester) - some of you may know the story about the 5 girls killed up here 2 years ago. they had JUST graduated high school the week prior ,(again, fairport) and were heading down to one of the girl's cottage on one of the finger lakes. while they can't prove it, all signs point to texting being the primary cause of the accident - text were sent second before the accident. the girl driving lost control, went across the road, and was hit head-on by a semi. all were killed instantly. another carload of girls was right behind them and saw the entire thing. the guy driving the truck was a mess (mentally, unhurt physically).

there are magnetic "ribbons" on more cars in this town than i can count in a day. the town was a mess. all were very popular, class leaders, cheerleaders, on their way to college.

my point... people are f-ing morons. i still see kids texting while driving in this area. how quickly they forget the loss of these 5 girls. how quickly they forget about the pain and senseless loss. these girls' friends are now in college, and some still in high school, but think it won't happen to them.. or whack someone else.

it's bad enough on a national level, but in this area it's especially critical.

MAKES ME ****ING SICK!!!!

if you want to know more about the story, google "5 angels" or "fairport girls" or something of that nature. terrible loss for this community.

as an addition to this...

i was driving to work about 2 weeks ago, a cop was coming the other way, dude was ALL OVER THE ROAD!!!! i had to move over just to feel safe. what was he doing, you ask? typing on his cruiser computer. now i know it could've been something important, but shouldn't they be held to similar standards? dude could've easily caused an accident.

i think it can be very effective and was very well done. play this stuff in the usa. They should come up with something that blocks texts from coming in while driving

[yermom]

yeah, people will stop texting about when they stop driving drunk

Sad but true.
