I was watching TV earlier when a special interest commercial came up. A public announcement from Pauley Perrette, co-star of CBS's NCIS. She, in the advertisement, stands very stoic and calmly recites the words, "If you receive a text message while driving, pull over to the side of the road, before looking to see what it says. No text is worth losing your life over or killing someone else." The ad concludes with tagline,CBS Cares.
I began to laugh.
I, in no way, disagree with this practice or the need to constantly remind people that they need to do this. Reading your text messages while waiting for a red light to change to green, doesn't count either. You motherf*ckers need to get over to the side and put your shit in park or apply the e-brake.

This is not why I laughed.
I laughed because I suddenly thought of valid reasons as to why it'd be necessary to read a text while driving. The examples are as follows:

- "LOOK OUT!!!"
- "THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!"
- "DON'T STOP THE CAR OR THEY'LL F*CKING KILL YOU!!!"
These are just a sample of messages I'd prefer to know about before I wound up a crimson stain on the asphalt. Call me old-fashioned, which is ironic being that text messaging wasn't available in the olden days. People back then had to be surprised when a load of logs fell from a tractor trailer squashing them in their cars or be bludgeoned to death by a hooded maniac with a hook for a hand.
