【Watch Big Breasts Overflowing With Hands, The Wifes Runaway Online】
For a full three minutes,Watch Big Breasts Overflowing With Hands, The Wifes Runaway Online AT&T's latest PSA-style ad lets you think it might be the one distracted driving message that doesn't end in tragedy.
A cheerful father dutifully ignores his buzzing phone as he drives three laughing young girls to the pool -- each vibration ratcheting up the underlying suspense.
SEE ALSO: Poignant video campaign shows the power of finishing high school as an adultThen along comes an apparition of a cryptic little boy to dash any hopes of a drama-free drive with a do-gooder dad.
After some idle small talk, the kid asks the dad if he wants to check his phone, but the dad says he'd never do so with a kid in the car.
"It's okay. I'm not here," the kid ominously replies before vanishing.
Evidently, thinking he imagined the whole encounter, the dad glances at his phone. In the same instant, the kid darts into the road, and the dad slams on his brakes a second too late.
"I'm there," the kid says in a ghostly voiceover.
The TV-friendly version of the commercial is pared down to just that final exchange, but the full three-and-a-half-minute scene adds an extra dose of context and masterfully built suspense.
It also allows for a few well-placed red herrings -- a man walks to a mailbox as the driver is distracted, the driver reaches towards his vibrating phone only to adjust the radio volume -- that make you brace for an impact that doesn't come.
That the video spends more than three quarters of its time focused on innocuous chit-chat and everyday activities makes for an apt demonstration of how the dire consequences of a distraction can play out in a fraction of a second.
The ad's narrative is rooted in research that shows that 64 percent of people admit to using a smartphone when driving alone. Just over half of that number say they have done so with passengers in the car and less if those passengers are children.
The telecom is also working with the team behind the behavioral psychology podcast and book Freakonomicsto enumerate other quirks in how people think about phone usage behind the wheel.
The effort is part of AT&T's long-running "It Can Wait" campaign from ad agency BBDO.
