Awesome stuff you see on the internet

Interesting story on the blog about that climb, lots of shit being generated by that (they tried to pull it, but it was too late).<br />
<br />
One thing I missed that it pointed out, when he tied off at the very top HE TOOK BOTH HANDS OFF to grab the hook things. Jesus Christ, balls of steel. Oh, and what they were tied off to up there would have likely fallen off with them if they lost their balance, so false sense of security. <br />

It's [I][B]probably [/B][/I]real, but if it's not...<br />
<br />
My brother (at Weta) tells me it's the sort of thing he could bang out on his laptop in an evening. The ball leaves the frame quite a bit. Makes it easy to either edit out where it really went and put in a new one. He was quite surprised they used such an "obvious" technique - used on Forrest Gump over a decade and a half ago and exposed in some top-rating "making-of" things - seeing as the whole impact of the thing is it's believability. <br />
<br />
But it's probably real. -
Never underestimate the gullibility of some people though, plenty of people know nothing about those techniques and believe it's real. Someone I showed it to didn't even question it, even Cory Jane's reverse kick.<br />
<br />
As for the way they did it, it looks so real so I don't see what's wrong with the way they did it? <br />
<br />
There has been some great PR from them this year, hope they do more stuff like this. Bit of fun and all that. -
Those AB and NFL ads are great - I think there was one like that with LeBron James back a few years - was viral and can't find it - but he was shooting full court baskets. Edited using the same technique - ball leaving the frame, then re-entering. <br />
<br />
This isn't as awesome - but it still made me smile. TVC for Vailima - Samoan beer of choice. Apparently all of the actors in the commercial work at the brewery. Best use of a John Farnham audio track ever!<br />

I remember when you could still buy it here. Wasn't too bad, does taste better in the islands though. I heard it was banned in NZ because of the varying degrees of alcohol from bottle to bottle. -
Greenies, if you don't do what we say......<br />

Immediately after watching this I started up my outboard and lawnmower and left them idling while I chainsawed down every tree in the neighbourhood.I've become immune to the standard smug sancimonious preachy "we're right and you're a money grubbing captilist pig if you disagree" approach but this is just fucking weird. -

The Brumbies try their hand at the ABs skill video.<br />
<br />
They are taking the piss out of the ABs which hits my moral outrage button frantically, but if you can get past it i have to admit its kinda funny.<br />
<br />
Or, alternatively, they aren't taking the piss out of the ABs, and this is genuinely demonstating their skills. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
