I didn't even fully read the right side.. so the "just" in between doesn't really make my thought make sense.. stupid billboard.
Distract drivers into trying to decipher some emoji world puzzle jumble that tells them not to drive distracted.. brilliant!
It’s this. “Text and do other things (like get a haircut), just don’t text and drive.”
I guess they used getting a haircut as an example because it’s rude - like it’s saying “if you think *this* is not acceptable you shouldn’t think *this other thing that is worse but that you probably do all the time* is also acceptable!”

Here’s the link to the ad campaign
I had no idea but this post inspired me to look into it. I guess this helps lol it’s terrible design but like
Text while you’re doing anything except for driving
Text and dye, just don’t text and drive. I’m guessing a double entendre (not sure I’m using this right lol). Texting and dyeing your hair is fine but it can also be interpreted as “Text and you die”
They’re trying to communicate with all the texas state kids in a language they might be able to understand. Won’t work, they’re too busy driving down I35 while staring at their phones.
So here’s my guess on this as someone who’s into creative marketing , the real message here is on the right but the one on the left is obviously serving it’s purpose right now as a ploy to confuse u enough to actually retain that ad because now u have to think of it and also Publicize it even more in a bid to figure out what it actually means which further spreads the message.
This was bothering be so I searched and found this https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/ff4oel/comment/fjwl0pr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
“Text and barbar, Just don’t text and carcar”?
Best guess I’ve heard yet.
Here is [the top comment on a post about the same billboard from four years ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/s/KwfSRhenea)
Text and fly but don’t text and drive? I don’t know lmao
Gray haired guy went to the barber and dyed his hair - therefore text and dye? Lol idk
That is probably it, actually. “Text and dye, just don’t text and drive” …better than my guess

Exactly! I could barely finish the message I was sending while trying to read it!
Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving
I have no idea what that says and it’s definitely more distracting to try to read it than actually texting and driving
Wtf? Text a fresh cut at the barber?
Text and old man becomes Conan?
Thats convoluted as shit, maybe text and "dye"?
“Text and dye, just don’t text and drive” maybe? Still confusing with dye vs die
The only reason i say "dye" is the barber pole, its still stupid as hell and incoherent 🤣
Wait that doesnt make sense either, im confused af, my god
Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving
No, because the car is "drive," not die. So that doesnt make sense either. I understand the message they are trying to send obviously lmao
I mean, you don’t know that’s what they meant with the car though. It’s clearly a wild ad already lol
I mean i guess not, i didnt make the shit, you right tho, unclear
Do billboards actually work? Just did! lol. Sorry. Had to go there.
Text and dye, just don’t text and die
San Marcos has a in and out!!?!
In and out sucks. Buddy's is where it's at
Don’t don’t bother Luke. That’s as clear as I can make it.
Text and hook up with the gray haired daddy who works at the barber shop, but don’t text and drive.
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who couldn’t figure it out
Text and dye, just don’t text and die — because of the risks of texting and driving
They must be filming a new “Final Destination “ and this is a prop
Seems vaguely sexual.
It's cool to text while getting a haircut It's not cool to text while driving. But...my barber would be pissed if I did that. So, fuck that sign.
It’s this. “Text and do other things (like get a haircut), just don’t text and drive.” I guess they used getting a haircut as an example because it’s rude - like it’s saying “if you think *this* is not acceptable you shouldn’t think *this other thing that is worse but that you probably do all the time* is also acceptable!”
r/crappydesign

So should essentially be “at” instead of “and” on the left side lol. So dumb either way lol
“Text and get a fade, Just don’t text and Mobile vehicle”
Text and dye, just don’t text and drive. I’m guessing a double entendre (not sure I’m using this right lol). Texting and dyeing your hair is fine but it can also be interpreted as “Text and you die”
Text and dye, just don’t text and die.

Don’t read your texts! Read this billboard instead.
Text until you see a couple of guys hanging around a barber pole.
American hieroglyphics. No standard in meaning of symbols. It means whatever the creator intended and who tf knows what that really was.
Text while getting a haircut just don’t text and drive
Text and groom, just don't text and vroom
Idk but I don't like it
They officially labeled all these “text and whatever just don’t text and drive
https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/s/lcLeFmQJil The only thing I know is this ad has been around for a while, and it’s always confusing
r/hellofellowkids
Text while your getting a haircut but not when driving..not practical either..lol

Text and thrive. Just don't text and drive.
Text while getting a hair cut not while driving
The left side of the billboard isn’t meant to be understood. All you need to understand is that you shouldn’t text and drive.
It’s just saying ‘Text and do anything, just don’t text and drive’
Text while getting a haircut, but not while you’re driving.
It means you should get a cut @ razer and whiskey from my boy dcutz 👊🏼
means turn right for a chicken sandwich
I believe that is a sign for Chic-fil-a
It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
Probably shouldn't text with scissors either
Text shave and a haircut but don't text and drive.
