OMG

A graphic British public service announcement about the dangers of sending text messages while driving has become an Internet hit and sparked debate around the world.

The Gwent police force in Wales said Wednesday that an extract from a video it made for use in schools has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube and other Web sites since it was posted last month.

The 30-minute film shows a bubbly teenager named Cassie — "a nice girl from a nice Gwent Valleys family" — who triggers a pileup that kills four people when she tries to send a text message while driving. The graphic, slow-motion depiction of the crash shows heads going through windshields, bloodied bodies and the lifeless eyes of a baby.
