OT for Friday afternoon -- real or face

[Keith A]

Check out this macromedia clip and see if you think it is real or fake?

Nice shot (http://abfhm.free.fr/basket.htm)

Edit: Sorry about the typo in the title, but I can't change it :(

[Kevan]

Someone could be toasted doing that...

[gasman]

It sure looked real to me, but with the wonders of computers these days I say it must be edited somehow.

You have to figure that the cheerleader teams that toss people in the air know pretty much where they're coming back down, cause it would be pretty dumb to throw them up there and then start running around trying to figure out where to be when they land again.

But that's just nuts. That girl would be so sorry if her ponytail caught.

My pal at work that forwarded me that earlier today says there's a whole set of really stupid things at the site where it came from, like the kid that sticks a firecracker in his teeth and lights it.... and then runs around going ow! ow! ow!

[Sandy]

I know it was real. They tried it with me first. I am still stuck in the hoop at the other end of the court. :)

Sandy,

I don't believe you.... who could toss you like that? :D

[Keith A]

Mine too -- especially with the video/image geeks debating whether is was real or not. One of guys spent some time going through the clip frame by frame trying to determine if it was real or not.

[Sandy]

They used a forklift and dropped me. :)

Still trying to score,

Sandy

I find it very hard to believe that the clip is real in its entirety.

good thing (for the girl) that she is not more (how shall we say it?) rubeunesque (sp?). or as they say in bra ads, full figured. whose shoulders/hips could ever fit thru a hoop? twiggie or a spanish climber? :rolleyes:

[coylifut]

A basketball hoop is wide enough for two basket balls to go through side by side. With that said, I don't think it's real. It sure is entertaining though.

[Keith A]

Here's one of the frames that gave it away...

[hypnos]

You can see where she strikes the back of her head against the rim as she passes though. That must have hurt.

That's actually what the French text says: "To be proscribed for young girls with a "strong" chest."

We could remake the Bird/Jordan McDonald ads of 10 years ago. Toss her over the rafters, bounce her off the scoreboard, nothing but net.
