The Campaign

The viral video called “für Laura” begins with a text chart reading “thank you for 12 ‘beautiful’ years Laura!” followed by “you’ve really earned half!”. The video then shows a man who obviously just got divorced from said Laura. He is seen cutting various household items in half using powertools: an iPhone, chairs, a TV, a double bed… even a car! The video ends with an on-screen text reading “best wishes to my successor!”.
