holy bouncing superballs, batman!

hey, check this out. i hate that an advertising agency came up with this concept, but it's still fucking cool, and the photography is nice (i recommend watching the extended version):

can you watch this and not smile, not feel at least an echo of childish foolishness? (i am, of course, assuming that they cleaned up all the balls afterward...if not, shame on them!) wish i could've seen it in person. i wonder if it would've hurt, to stand in the path of the descending cloud of superballs and let them bounce off your body as they made their crazy way downhill...cuz that's what i would've wanted to do. i particularly like the little side shot of red superballs bouncing down a stairway/alley leading into the main street.

how fun--and how cool, that they did this in the city i'm about to spend 5 days in! with good friends and good food.

they did clean up the balls, I highly recommend watching the makeing of videos, super cool. Imagine shoveling a bunch of superballs, you'd have to laugh the whole time.
