Radio station uses killer in ad campaign

A Norweigian radio station has recruited a convicted murderer for an ad campaign that warns if people do not listen, "I'll kill you."

The radio spot featuring notorious convict Veronica Orderud is running on Oslo radio station P3 touting Mina Hadjian's show, Aftenposten reports.

Orderun was one of four people convicted in the 1999 slayings of her husband's parents and sister. The ad was recorded while she was on prison leave.

"Hi, this is Veronica Orderud, and I listen to Mina every day. And if you don't, I'll kill you," says the ad.

Orderud told the newspaper VG the radio spot was simply "gallows humour."
