Was that last txt worth it?
A new and in-your-face ad campaign by UK agency Blue Hive, is sending an important, yet chilly, message: Don't text and drive -- you may just end up in a freezer.
The four-part ad series, according to TrendHunter.com, features classic texting lingo like "msg," "2," and "snd" next to dead bodies with equally creepy emoticons pasted over them.
