Maybe you’ve already received this in email.  It looks amazing.  Can you blame someone for forwarding it to you?  You may have even forwarded it to someone else. 

The truth is that this video is not real.  According to abc30.com, it’s part of a new viral Web ad produced by Gatorade.   The “ballgirl” is actually a stuntwoman, hooked up to cables for the extra footage, shot after a Fresno Grizzlies game in front of  about a hundred fans and players who stayed late. 

Is it just me, or are you tired already of viral Web campaigns that find new ways to deceive you?  Or, do you find them entertaining?

I’m working on trying to get some signs put up around work that encourage people to be nicer to people who commute to work on their bikes.  Any ideas?  Maybe something like, “People on two wheels need love, too.”  If you think some news scripts torn into shreds and taped to my handlebars to look like streamers are going to keep me from being environmentally and economically conscious, well…just…just…think again.   Yeah.  That. 

You’ve probably seen these Share The Road yard signs around town.  Ian Webb at River City Cycling and Fitness bought a bunch for $10 each and is selling them to anyone for $5 each.   You can also get commuter tips here.
