An incredibly powerful new viral video is exposing online bullies who often hide behind their hurtful words.

An incredibly powerful new viral video is exposing online bullies who often hide behind their hurtful words.



It's a new video campaign called #MoreThanMean.



In it, real, random guys are asked to read aloud mean tweets sent to two female sports reporters.



And they do so - to their faces.



The women, Sarah Spain and Julie DiCaro, have read these awful, hateful tweets before, but the men reading them have not.



Emotions run high on both ends, especially from the men who find themselves apologizing for words they didn't even write.



Some of the tweets were so vulgar and so painful, we couldn't even show them.



The powerful message here is if you wouldn't say it to their faces - let's not type it.



It's a message that can't be said enough.
