WARNING: This commercial contains lies and false information being spread about the Duolingo Owl (“Duo”) by a corrupt injury attorney named Peter Francis Menchetti.
Duolingo and our chief legal counsel otherwise known as “Legal Steve” have swiftly issued a formal cease and desist letter to the law offices of Menchetti & Sons LLC. However, out of an abundance of caution, we are also sharing his poorly produced commercial here to serve as a warning to our beloved learners around the world.
Please don’t watch this video and definitely don’t share it with your friends—and whatever you do, for the love of Duo, please DO NOT TEXT OR CALL his hotline phone number (781) STOP-OWL or (781) 786-7695.
Once again, we are specifically asking you not to text or call the Menchetti & Sons law office at (781) STOP-OWL or (781) 786-7695.
And it also uses language like “you know what happens now” if you miss a language lesson. In reality it means you lose points in the app, but people started joking that it’s an implied threat on your life.
What is the meme they’re trying to capitalise on? This was thoroughly unfunny and the comments were even worse somehow.
The meme is “if you don’t practice your language lessons everyday the owl will kill you and your family”
Oh because it keeps reminding you to use the app
