Creative Inspiration: Crazy Stunts
Man, crazy stunts. You just can’t go wrong with them! Yes, this is totally fake. But how cool is it?
It’s actually a ‘viral video’ for Gatorade. Not sure how the drink fits into this, but I just love watching it again and again. And sharing with you. Ergo - she’s viral, baby!

Couple things about that: The first time I saw it, as a baseball fan, I said, “Okay, but something’s not right… She shouldn’t be allowed to do that… That might have been playable…” But then I dismissed it as some obscure minor-league AAA rule… Later, when I found out it was fake (and sponsored), I said, “Okay, I figured as much…”
However, I’m not sure how Gatorade ties in, either… Matter of fact, I didn’t know it was for Gatorade till someone TOLD me it was… None of the versions I saw had links or logos attached… However, here we are reading and talking about it, so, yeah, I guess it worked…
Also goes to show that you CAN deliberately create something viral… I still think it’s mostly luck-based, though…

Haha - yeah, that’s what I said. “The ball girl would have gotten fired for pulling a stunt like that!” Confusing, though, it’s true - why Gatorade isn’t in the picture at all. Strange.
