A Norwegian radio station signed up a convicted murderer for an ad campaign in which she warns that if people do not listen to it, "I'll kill you."

The radio spot features Veronica Orderud and is running on Oslo radio station P3, touting Mina Hadjian's show. 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," she says in the ad.

Orderud told a Norwegian newspaper that the radio spot was simply "gallows humor," but prosecutor Jørn Maurud said he fails to see the joke and finds the whole thing "offensive and disturbing."
