A new TV ad in Chile pulled off a prank on the applicants for a bogus job by scaring them with an 82-inch screen that showed a gigantic meteor strike wiping out earth.
The company put the 82-inch Ultra HD TV screen behind the interviewer and made it look as if it was a real window giving a view of the city below.
The ad begins with the slogan 'Reality or Ultra Reality?' as it shows the prank team setting up a bogus office with hidden cameras.

The TV ad ends with the slogan 'The World's First 84 Inch Ultra HDTV.
