White House, College Humor team up to ask, 'What if bears ate one in five people?'
A new video produced by College Humor, in conjunction with the White House’s “It’s On Us” campaign, asks the simple question, “What if bears killed one in five people?”
While it seems silly, the question becomes very sobering when the video’s actual subject is revealed. All of the statistics included in the video are actually about campus sexual assault — one in five women will be sexually assaulted by the time they finish college.
The characters in the video become increasingly baffled by their host’s indifference about the issue of a large and violent bear trying to kill them. As the video comes to a close, a title appears, reading, “You wouldn’t put up with that, so don’t put up with this,” and then offers information about sexual assault.
The video stars New Girl‘s Jake Johnson and comedian Rob Riggle.
