I am not sure I buy this. If that is real - it is sick.

The haphazard shooting style seems a bit fake - that the camera 'just misses what happened' the first time etc.

Reminds me a lot of an Adidas or Nike soccer 'amateur-look' video of a great long range goal on a practice field that was also fake.

Third piece that makes me think it is a totally fake marketing attempt at a viral video:

The guy has a ridiculously close shave with being hit in the face by Roger Federer. Twice. Such a close shave. Such a perfect viral ad for Gillette

there's also the 'because it's way to sensitive' seemingly random comment he makes ' put the bottle on your head, quietly, then 'because it's way too sensitive' as he walks off to take the shot.

It's an ad for Gillette Fusion Sensitive

Again I'll have to think fake.

Capture word is 'bouncych'

Oh Gordon, why not sometimes just let your imagination run wild and let yourself believe that it was real. ; )

Dreamcrusher.

Bruce lee is dead, so that one is fake, however, the ronaldhino one is clearly real!

As is the greatest slide flight ever:

yeah, the slip and slide is also awesome

Unknown said...

I like in the slide case there is plenty of documentation on how it was actually faked up, behind the scenes footage etc

MW said...

And once again, you played mythbuster followed by dreamcrusher. Keep the bad news to yourself, dammit!

The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies. The slide is real. Gordon lies.
