Oy. More is better up to a point, no? There is a point where it's too much. We can argue just where that point is, but let's establish this first.
The fact that it gets people's attentions is not proof that it's a good idea. You could also rip people out of their cars and punch them in the faces. That would get their attentions, too. I think it's a better idea to get people's attentions without hurting them.
