Real Skills vs Fake Skills

Filed in archive Oddballs on October 5, 2007

Spotted this (possibly Swedish?) ad over at Who ate all the Pies?. Some nice tricks, but I wish ads would stop faking footy skills. It's one thing to use editing to make something look better, but when CGI is used - as appears to be the case when he's bouncing it off the water cooler, and is definitely the case when he catches it between his butt cheeks - it takes the wonder out of it. Being impressed by humans is way more fun than being impressed by computers.
