Not-So-Massive Verbal Persuasion

During the Super Bowl, RAM trucks aired an ad featuring a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. There was heavy criticism for the attempt at using King’s words in an effort to sell trucks, but apparently, it’s even worse than it originally seemed.

What’s even worse, King was an outspoken critic of capitalism—and actually decried car advertisers later in the very same speech used in the commercial.

Yikes, indeed.
