Maybe something like a 30 second movie short that uses a "yes, this means you" approach and respectfully but firmly delivers a STFU message, if you'll pardon my directness. It could be done with some humor, but needs to make the point in a strong way. What do you think? Worth a try?

Example:

That is a great solution.

I know I need to turn my cell phone off but sometimes [most times?] I forget. I appreciate when someone or some clip reminds me.

Why not use an old clip to keep it funny? Or make their own old fashion clip and word it their own way to include cell phones. Remember the politically incorrect dancing Indians they would show at the drive in reminding you to buy at the refreshment stand? We could make that clip with dancing villagers doing a line dance?
