Don’t Emoji and Drive

“Textear” y conducir aumenta 23 veces la probabilidad de tener un accidente de tránsito, además de que la distancia que transcurre en promedio al mandar un mensaje es de 20 metros, informan especialistas la Universidad Anáhuac y Daimler.

Para celebrar el “World Emoji Day“ Ford en compañía de la agencia creativa Blue Hive de Italia, pone de su lado a los emoticones para tratar de crear conciencia en el tema, esto por medio de una inusual publicidad online bajo la frase “Don’t emoji and drive”…

As we predicted, it didn’t take long for Internet art kids to get a hold of the tool and have some fun.
