New York State has recruited an 80's horror icon to offer some killer advice amid the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Jason Vorhees, the machete-wielding villain behind the “The Friday the 13th" franchise has become the state’s advocate for mask-wearing amid the COVID-19 crisis.
“It’s not easy being me,” the narrator stresses. “The mask makes people uncomfortable.”
Meanwhile, pedestrians flee before a misunderstood “Jason” who nonchalantly journeys the streets of NYC, trying to fit into society and make a connection with other people.
“I know. The whole chainsaw thing,” the narrator continues. “But the thing is--behind the mask, I’m just a regular guy.”
At this point, a little girl approaches “Jason” with a proper face mask and he realizes that the reason people were avoiding him was because he was not wearing a protective face covering.
Ogilvy, the ad agency behind the PSA, wrote on Facebook, that they wanted to tap into pop culture in order to convey the”life-saving message,” to younger people, “who may feel invincible” to COVID-19.
This comes as Coronavirus Cases continues to rise across the United States.
