Amazon also had the ad about Alexa killing you. Not sure what they were thinking exactly.

It was some attempt at reductio ad absurdum. If you are concerned about letting Alexa into your home, you must be as irrational as Chris Hemsworth. Edit: I'm misusing reductio ad absurdum, but somebody will please tell me what the fallacy here is called.

That ad was great. I'm not sure how it sells Alexa products, but it was hilarious.
