Flying cars
A Youtube video from New Zealand depicting a couple of guys attaching thousands of helium balloons to a car, and watching it float away, caused quite a sensation, and debate over its authenticity. The creators of the video claim that they were trying to make a homemade version of the Flying Ford commercial, and that the car got away from them. Further investigation revealed that it was all a publicity stunt and that they brought in a crane to simulate the flight. Their stunt succeeded as they garnered over a million views on Youtube, and coverage on their local news networks. Here is the original video, the news report about it, a behind the scenes video on how they pulled it off, and finally the original Ford commercial that inspired it all.
