Department of Justice Uses Cartoon Lesbian Characters to Teach Kids About Cell Phone Safety (VIDEO)

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has invested in a campaign effort to help teenagers establish boundaries to guard against relationship abuse in today's digital age.

The DOJ spent $1.2 million developing a website, www.thatsnotcool.com, which depicts cartoon cellphones engaging in real-life dating situations. The first video featured on the website is titled "Password," and features two lesbians in the shape of cellphone characters sitting on a city bench.

In the controversial video one of the characters is seen typing non-stop on her body, a cellphone keypad.

"I should know your profile password," the other character said to her girlfriend. "It's no big deal. We've been together for a long time now."

The video shows that the cellphone girlfriend in question feels uncomfortable with the question.

"Your mobile, IM, and online accounts are all part of you. When someone you're dating is controlling, disrespecting, or pressuring you in those spaces, that's not cool," a quote on the campaign's site read.

The video now has thousands of views and although some of the comments focus more so on the fact of not giving away a password; some touched on the fact that the cartoon showcased a lesbian couple.

"I'm a little uncomfortable with the fact that they're lesbians, but besides that I completely disagree with what shes trying to do. Giving you're personal information away because of peer pressure is not cool," one comment read.

Another commenter disagreed and said,"I love the fact that they made both avatars girls :) yeah LGBT!"

The DOJ uploaded another video, entitled "Show Me Your Battery," and asks "Is it OK to pressure someone for nude pics?"

The DOJ was awarded the $1.2 million grant to Futures Without Violence, which is based in San Francisco.
