it's pretty neat. i bet it would work better on salt water (less the waves). I'd like to see them try it in Utah.

I must admit that I did watch it several times. Obviously my first reaction was just "WTF". But being the skeptic that I am when it comes to information on-line I had to look over it again to try to make some sense. So I started looking at the labels of brands that appear. I noticed quite a few were wearing clothing with "Hi-Tec" on it... and of course as your link points out there is the "money shot" of the shoe.

Pretty entertaining though.

Just say that you googled "Liquid Mountaineering" and found out it was fake. We don't need the whole fake explanation.

Ok champ... because I'm incapable of noticing that almst everyone of them was wearing clothing that had "Hi-Tec" visible on it except when they were in wetsuits... and these viral marketing things aren't exactly new.

Thanks for trying to call me out on the interwebz... serious biz here.
