In light of General Motors’ recall of 11 million vehicles and recently-leaked public relations memo, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver made a new, honest ad for their cars.
Oliver sets up the video by talking about “Judgment Word” that General Motors is advising employees not to use, according to internal memos (wink wink). Words such as:
- Deathtrap
- Decapitating
- Grenade-Like
- Hindenburg
- Kevorkainesque
- Powder Keg
- Rolling Sarcophagus
- You’re Toast
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
WHY WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY
OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
WHEN YOU CAN DRIVE
You can watch the segment below, ending with the mock ad.
