Mark Humphries debunks 5G conspiracy theories for Telstra
Telstra is debunking conspiracy theories about 5G, including the myth that it caused COVID-19, with help from comedian Mark Humphries.
Humphries and Telstra’s Electromagnetic Energy (EME) expert Mike Wood put in their two cents about the theories, making it clear that “viruses cannot travel on radio waves or mobile networks” because “if they could, someone would have weaponised Smooth FM years ago”.
The content series is set to appear across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube, in a direct effort to counter the misinformation about 5G that has been spread on the platforms. In the series, Humphries makes reference to this, comparing Facebook to the Dark Web, and making light of the cliched middle-aged relatives sharing fake news on social media.
This not a joke.
This 5G conspiracy rubbish is dangerous.
Just give the idiots the facts to disprove their 5G lunacy.
This just makes Telstra look as juvenile and idiotic as the views and people they’re trying to dismiss.
I was wondering when someone would snap him up. Great talent, well done.
Mark and Evan are the dream team.
Well done! Great to see an Aussie brand doing comedy well, using actual comedy talent, not ad agency writers attempting comedy!
Excellent concept and execution from an in-house team.
This is much better than “5G’s a bigger cake, with bigger slices for everyone”.
