China’s state-owned plane-maker said Tuesday it expects to deliver its first home-grown passenger jet to a customer in 2021 as the world’s second largest economy seeks to challenge the dominance of Boeing and Airbus. The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) plans to first target the Chinese market, before moving on to Southeast Asia and Africa, said Lu Zheng, deputy general manager of sales and marketing. The C919, a COMAC-built 168-seater passenger plane, will likely be cheaper than equivalent models by its closest competitors, Lu told reporters on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow.

Badly.  But one savvy internet user realized that the speech also had some coarse words from King for advertisers and so, to make perhaps the most firm point possible how off-the-mark the ad was, recut the original version of the Dodge using those excerpts, like the one below. A more powerful message than the original ad could ever hope to make.
