That's a very cool commercial.

250,000 balls launched at San Francisco

I saw news footage recently of them filming this. It was awesome to see at real speed.

I wonder how many times they had to launch balls down the street? And how many cameras they used to capture all that?

Really, that is actually a somewhat moving commercial, lol.

Isn't that called littering?

And did they pick them all up? And fix the damage? The balls were ripping shingles off a house and knocking over trash cans.

I know a lot of those balls ended up in the ocean.

Even still, it is cool!:D

Love all the links but everyone has to see the making of, which does show the balls at full speed. Thunks as the balls hit cars and metal objects and car alarms going off! Awesome. :D

Thanks for the links Alex! Yes, the making of was great. And I saw them setting up a big fence at the end of the street, and then later scoping up the balls. So they made an attempt to conatin at least most of them. And mad some kids happy as a result :D . That was cool too!

And the spoof was very funny, but only because I saw the original first. Otherwise it wouldn't have ment much to me....
