Need a day off but already wasted all your vacation time?  Well the new marketing scheme by Mikes Hard Lemonade aims to assist you in getting some ‘quality BBQ time’ by letting you create a personalized news clip video about a tragic incident that recently befell you, which you can then send to your boss as proof of your inability to come in to work.

The resulting video is hosted on a web-page made to look like a real news site (sort of), and is all sorts of hilarious.  It probably won’t fool your boss, but it might put him in the mood to give you that day off anyway.
