A couple new terms have made their way into adult conversation: sexting and textual harassment. A new website aimed at teens will attempt to help deal with these types of unwanted advances via phones.
ThatsNotCool.com is trying to be viral, but since it has the blessing of the very “adult” AdCouncil, this is destined to be just another feel good project that misses its target. It begs to be parodied, and as soon as the site gets mainstream attention, the parody videos will be ruthless.
