stupid ad campaign

[K-Dub]

A new viral video from Hi-Tec Sports (http://www.hi-tec.com/) has a lot of viewers scratching their heads and raising their eyebrows, asking, “Could it really be possible to walk on water?” The new viral from Hi-Tec is a documentary-style clip introducing a new sport called Liquid Mountaineering, in which athletes take a running start and run on top of water. Jesus would love this sport.

The great thing about ‘Walk On Water’ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe3St1GgoHQ&feature=player_embedded#%21) is that it is shot like a documentary and not like an advertisement. The name of the shoes isn’t even mentioned in the clip. The liquid mountaineers briefly mention that they came across some shoes “by mistake” that are totally water repellent. We see a quick money shot of water being poured on a pair of water repellent Hi-Tec shoes and go right back to the running on water. It’s just enough to get the brand name out there without being obvious about the promotional aspects of the video. The video, which was posted to YouTube at the end of April, already has over 1 million views. Check out the comments and you’ll find tons of YouTubers arguing about whether or not liquid mountaineering is a real sport. Surprisingly, many people think the sport and the video is real! After all, if stones can skip on water why can’t we?
Hi-Tec has made their campaign even more realistic with a Blogspot blog (http://www.liquidmountaineering.blogspot.com/). The blog is not tied to Hi-Tec in any way. Rather it is written by the guys that invented liquid mountaineering and are featured in the video. Like in the video, Hi-Tec shoes are not mentioned on the blog. However, they are featured in pictures.
Whether or not you believe that liquid mountaineering is a real sport or that people could actually walk on water, you have to admit that this is an amazing viral campaign. I know it makes me want to go right out, get a pair of Hi-Tec shoes and go for a jog on the lake. What do you think of Hi-Tec’s Liquid Mountaineering campaign?

Its viral marketing for the shoes....obviously. Water repellant shoes enable this?? Don't be an idiot.

Plexiglass platform right under the water.

EVERYTHING THEY SHOW ON THE INTERNETZ IS REALZ!!!!

[Presto]

I tried this using my crazy-worn, treadless, All-Stars, and I was able to get almost 3 steps (after a million tries), before I sank. The secret is to run the curve they showed in the video. Get as much speed on solid ground, so that momentum will maintain your vector. After you've mastered getting enough speed, then it's all about stepping/skimming the water, which is just a lot of practice with the timing.

[Vansterdam]

lol that jesus soccer ball video is halarious

[Kim Jong Un]

EVERYTHING THEY SHOW ON THE INTERNETZ IS REALZ!!!!

Real talk, go try it guys. :haha:

[danny_d19]

the fact that they keep doing it in the exact same line/spot on the water gives it away pretty quick

[elwell]

seems convincing to me, run fast and in a curve

[Gh0stRider]

go try it and report back.

we'll be waiting to laugh at you

[Manic!]

Time to call the Myth Busters.

[tegz]

What..? This is serious? I thought it was just one of those joke clips...

[LiquidTurbo]

[twitchyzero]

call me a sheep i thought that was quite believable
even the sea-doo scene too

[LiquidTurbo]

You could run on a non newtonian fluid, like cornstarch mixed with water.

[Manic!]

Or use your brain. :facepalm:

I know it's fake but theirs a lot of gullible people on the net. Just look at the posts above.

[LiquidTurbo]

I suppose that makes for a very successful viral video. Funny thing is everyone in the video is wearing "Hi-Tec" clothing.. which is the same company that makes the shoes. Very subtle and clever.

[nma]

this is possible, i always do this with my waterproof flippy floppys

[Ferra]

Time to call the Myth Busters.

Or use your brain. :facepalm:

They prob will never go further than that. I honestly don't think they are actually walking on the water, but instead stepping on the ground in the shallow section.

[Kim Jong Un]

So who believed that you can actually run on water?

[LiquidTurbo]

"Well, if you run fast enough, it makes sense!"
