Oprah Mobile and the No Phone Zone Pledge

Today on her show Oprah is asking folks to take her "No Phone Zone Pledge" as displayed on her website.  Also showing on her website is the advertisement for Oprah Mobile (below left). Seemed a bit odd to me that she would promote the one and also advertise the other.

Now I do understand that Oprah is not saying that one should watch her show on their phone while driving a car. But it does seem odd to see them both displayed on the same webpage. I wonder if she would be okay with people listening to Oprah Mobile like a radio?

I do not text but I have been known to talk on my phone while driving? Not sure that I can take the pledge but maybe I will let a few more calls go to voice mail.

I will take a pledge to not view Oprah Mobile while driving. Actually I will probably not watch it at all.. will not even listen to it.

How about you? Will you take the pledge?
Do you watch Oprah on your phone?
Do you watch Oprah on TV?

  4. LOL to Sperical!

    I don't text and drive but if my son or boss call I answer and say "I'm driving can I call you back" because its illegal here and I don't want a ticket. Today the electronic billboards on the Freeway had a message about not using the phone while driving - wonder if Oprah inspired that?

    I do watch her show if there is a topic on that interests me or if she is interviewing someone I am interested in which is rare.

  5. Kansas Bob! It is so good to be here on your blog again. :)

    I very rarely watch Oprah...unless something of interest catches my eye. Once, twice a year...maybe.

    But, I do try to not talk on the phone while driving. If my kids call, I am guily of answering to make sure everything is ok. And, I have been known to shoot a txt back to them, but only at a red light.

    I do think it's a bad idea, and not very safe. Here in Illinois, it is not Illegal to talk while driving, only to have the phone being held up to your ear...blue tooth is happy.
