Product placement

Ling (app that teaches languages) ACTS - it is presented as a tool to learn Croatian, and the video encourages viewers to try it. Removing it would change the video's purpose. Ling (app that teaches languages) APPEARS as a watermark/logo throughout the end screen. Removing it would not change the video's content.

Transcript

Croatian has the word for every type of stupid. Glup kao noć, you're stupid as the night. Glup kao točak, you're stupid as a wheel. Glup kao panj, you're stupid as a tree stump. Fali ti daska u glavi, you're missing a board in your head. Da padne na leđa, razbio bi nos. If he fell on his back, he'd break his nose. He's that stupid. Learn Croatian the way Croatians actually use it. Try Ling. Ling is in our bio.
