I don't find things like this funny when I know they're faked

Desmo · 13-11-2009, 23:38

Never mind

Princess Griff · 14-11-2009, 00:02

Well I found it funny!!!

Yeah, all it takes is for you to have even the slightest comprehension of how heavy those curling stones are and you'd know there was absolutely nothing real about that video from 0:18 on...

20Kg apparently

You would need to hit it with a girder and the power of a howitzer to launch it like that.

Yup, and if it was launched with the kind of trajectory shown, it would have gone out the back wall of the building!!

I don't think anybody actually believes it to be real

Heroes wasn't real but was just as entertaining

divine · 14-11-2009, 13:50

This relies on assumption of reality for it to be funny though, or at least does in my mind, so when it is so obviously not real it just comes over as 'hmmm another try at viral marketing'
