Look at all of the jurisdictions that have made hand-held phones illegal while driving, while exempting hands-free cell phones. This despite numerous peer-reviewed studies showing that they are just as dangerous.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-51729363140129463882010-03-05T12:41:48.301-06:002010-03-05T12:41:48.301-06:00Somewhat related, it looks as though ads meant to ...Somewhat related, it looks as though ads meant to "shame" people out of certain behaviours might actually have the opposite effect, according to an Indiana University/Northwestern University study:<br /><br />http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35693607/ns/health-addictions/The View from Sevenhttp://theviewfromseven.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-40992572764982519542010-03-04T22:05:08.886-06:002010-03-04T22:05:08.886-06:00Advertising messages saying "Don't do tha...Advertising messages saying "Don't do that!" never seem to work particularly well.Lincolnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071727724415391715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-21558100197457457472010-03-03T23:05:14.496-06:002010-03-03T23:05:14.496-06:00Don't recall the specific ad, but perhaps they...Don't recall the specific ad, but perhaps they will influence a few people.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-78929154017525387132010-03-03T21:58:26.812-06:002010-03-03T21:58:26.812-06:00As a young lad with a driver's license buring ...As a young lad with a driver's license buring in my pocket in the late '90s, I was a real lead foot.

They'd be right: as often as I listen to Richard Cloutier's show in the morning, the only two ads I can even remember are the two that annoy me the most -- the "how can you ignore a crying baby" ad and the "so cheap our mothers are embarrassed" ad. (Damned if I can remember the name of the dealership, but at least I remember the ad.)<br /><br />Now let's see if they match the ads with shows that will actually reach the proper audience -- or if they'll go after the more sedate "100 Huntley Street" crowd.<br /><br />And, if there's a web site, hopefully the web site address will be easily remembered, unlike that anti-gang web site.
