How to Get Ahead in Advertising
My last wish is to see you lanced!
“A typical communist statement”
I’m not a communist!
“Of course you are, you want to take everyone’s cars away.”
I don’t want to take them away, I want to introduce them to something better!
“Better? Like what?”

“So you are a communist!”

Orwellian Jekyll and Hyde anchored by a manic performance from Grant. Scary relevant about AI also.
