"Can you imagine what it would feel like to take a G-Class down a ski jump?" asks the Mercedes-Benz press release. "To find out, visit our new
G-Class Facebook page
and experience the G-Jump game for yourself."
What you find when you arrive at the G-Jump game is an opportunity to spec-up your own Gelandewagen (Mercedes insists on calling it a G-Class but editor Trent is somewhat of a purist) and then fling it down a ski-jump.
It's certainly an amusing way to pass the time while you put off doing any real work, but we suspect lobbing a real G-Class off a ski-jump slope would be rather messier... and we doubt you'd manage the 153-metre jump that the game reckoned we would be capable of...
(ps - we apologise if your employers block your access to Facebook. But then if they do that, they probably block PH too, so you won't be reading this. So just ignore us...)
