Its quite easy to spot these fake viral videos' they are always just blurred at the point of interest.


Dutch filmmaker and animator Floris Kaayk in collaboration with media production company Revolver fessed up to creating a “media art project” that took the world by storm in recent days -- a video of inventor Jarno Smeets taking flight by flapping his arms.

But like the wax melting from Icarus’ wings, the truth is finally emerging.

Kaayak announced on Dutch television that he didn’t expect the media attention his project would generate, with over 8.9 million views across the world.

Well, his helmet looks authentic.. ;->

If we taught science in high school, so many people wouldn't be taken in by this sort of thing. But I'd like to see a documentary showing the steps in creating it. Now THAT might be more interesting.

Nobody ever mentions that Yves is using straight-up model airplane jet engines. Had to turn to the modelers to get it hooked up!!

That's what I'm talking about.  y1
