"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.

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...
