Man is the greatest machine of all.
#2–Alfie==”If?”——–wtf???? “If”===HAW!!!!!!
Consistent with your religious and economic views though. Blinded by colored lights.
Perfect.
I’ll pick the last one (car dive).
All the others were fancy tricks, but none of them risked their own necks.
We are talking about the “teacher kissing student” video right?
I’m pretty sure this was posted a few months ago.
Ringing the bell and Bulger were pretty good…the SUV dive wasn’t quite worth the risk to show off. “Ummm, how did I get a concussion and a fractured clavical, coach? Well, I was showing off some and, well, the wind blew…and, uhhhh, somebody rolled up a window on the other side of the SUV I was trying to fly through.”
Rather basic magic tricks used here.
For instance the camera moves away from the guy catching the football through the drywall for a couple seconds. He grabbed a ball off camera and then pushed it through the wall to make it look like he caught it.
Stop-photography tricks were used in other clips.
Why’d they all call me a Pygmy ?
I don’t believe the bell rings.
That is too just far and too accurate.
The plaster wall catch is also suspect.
No special effects were harmed in the making of these videos.
So, Alfie: you think someone other than God created special effects artists?
I am shocked that anyone watching this would think even for a second that any of these are real.
If it is a random video online that shows something “amazing,” it is almost certainly fake. I find it amazing that people haven’t figured that out by now.
…Of course these comments could also be fake and so I fell for it!
Fake or not, this was funny and amusing!
Like Seinfeld said of magic, “Here’s a quarter, it’s gone, you’re an idiot, it’s back, you’re a jerk.”
I guess all the beer-soaked, testosterone-fueled NFL jock sniffers like this sort of thing. I think its insulting.
How many football players does it take to catch a fish?
One, but you need three of ’em for bait.
only the last one, the car diver, seemed realistic, and somewhat possible to happen.
You can’t believe any video you see on the net… that said, it was very entertaining.
