That’s Not Cool: Digital Postcards Against Communications Abuse

By Dan Gould on March 12, 2009

ThatsNotCool.com seems like a straight up humorous site at first. They have a selection of funny e-cards that can be sent to give a hint to the stalkers, over-sharers and incessant communicators in your life. But the site actually has a deeper purpose.

Unplggd reports:

ThatsNotCool.com is a public service partnership between the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF), the Ad Council and the Office of Violence Against Women. They want to educate viewers on one of the pressing social issues of the time, abuse of this massive web of communication we’ve built.

The Callout Cards are meant to be a no-pressure way for you to subtly tell your pseudo boyfriend to stop pressuring you for naked pics or for your girlfriend to stop logging in to your email and Facebook accounts.
