This time, the words are “Behind Grocery Cell”
This time, the words are “Behind Grocery Cell” which gave this site. reviewjournal.com is the website for the Las Vegas Journal-Review. The article linked to is about one woman’s effort to get a grocery store to pull an ad from television because it depicts someone using a cell phone while behind the wheel.
On one facet, this woman is right in pointing out that driving while using a cell phone does make things more dangerous. This has been established. On the other hand, I don’t believe her assumption that the advertisement encourages the acceptance of “chatting and driving”. People are going to use their cells unless the law says otherwise. And even then, we’ve seen how that’s not 100% effective with seat belts or motorcycle helmets. Still, this woman is trying to do something she believes will make her community a better place, and you gotta respect that.
OK, I’m off to work! Check out the article and chime in with your two cents: Should this lady be praised or locked up? Until next time, enjoy this round of .hack//google!

The worst crime you can commit against another human being is to make them think.
Write up a little something about yourself here. Something short and sweet, or longer if you'd like.
