I've recently relocated to London from Sydney and I'll ramble about good food and drink around town, eclectic electronic music, absolutely anything to do with digital media, throw some sport (more than likely cricket) in and the odd personal experience — as seen through my camera lens.

Hello Ladies…

Brilliant.

Texting Can Be Deadly

Below is a four-minute video, produced by local police in Gwent, Wales, that has gone viral, attracting more than 1.5 million views on YouTube alone. Unfortunately, YouTube has restricted viewings to those over 18 because of its graphic nature, although through sharing on sites like Facebook and embedding on other websites (like I have) gets around the issue.

In a statement on the Gwent Police website, they are hoping the video can be used in schools across the U.K. to deter texting while driving “because we want to stop ALL drivers, but particularly young and new ones, from causing accidents”.

Effective? I reckon it might just be. I’d love to see this picked up as a public service announcement and played at the cinemas in its entirety. Pass it on – this one needs to be seen, and not just by kids, but by adults, whom are all too guilty of this activity.

And Adidas are getting in on the action with a start to the 2009 advertising campaign that is believe to be a springboard for many other avenues of content in the new year.

…and FWIW, if I had a brand that said who I was when I wasn’t at work. This would be it.
