Norway's PM Jens Stoltenberg driving a Taxi

1 decade 8 months 3 weeks ago

Norwegian PM Jens Stoltenberg spent an afternoon working incognito as a taxi driver in Oslo, he has revealed.
The footage - made in collaboration with an advertising company - has been posted on the prime minister's Facebook page and made into a film which will be used as part of his campaign for re-election in September.

Moving this video to randeepsamra's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

None of the passengers had to pay, since he doesn't have a taxi driver's license, and in fact 5 of the 14 were paid to take part in the video!

"They're five ordinary people who were asked if they wanted to take part in a video for the Labour Party and who knew nothing else, except that they were going to be picked up in a taxi," party spokeswoman Pia Gulbrandsen said.

"Their spontaneity was real when they realised that the driver was the prime minister."

Even so, it's still a bit of fun
