OK my opinion is that this is a stupid (fake but doesn't matter) video. Whats the point or the idea behind it? only the creator knows. maybe its just the industry competing of how stupid and unethical a advert can be and still sell. The next model of MSI will probably be with the shape of a dildo and the slogan ... One Notebook ... Many uses.

There is no doubt it's fake - it's so slim it even fits in a butt crack. Perfect advertisement slogan.

Near the end where the one individual is throwing one laptop after another, it appears to be caught before he is able to "catch [it] with his butt".
WOW! That's a fantastic video! However, I think it was all edited, the one where he's doing cartwheels wouldn't have hit him, it was thrown at a really weird angle, then it just dropped down into his butt. But-t (get it?!!) who cares, its a great idea!!

it seems inspired by Guy Catches Glasses With Face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-prfAENSh2k except you can work out how they did all the sunglasses tricks, I haven't yet worked out these ones, unless they're all computer effects...

My suspicion is the laptop is real in some shots but CGI in others like when it's thrown from the roof, it just falls TOO perfectl

ok this is a (fake) video, so where is the problem? it's a nice advertisement, do you think the ads you watch on tv are real? even simple things like water flying out of bottle are mostly made with 3D and video editing software, and that is normal..

It looks pretty fake to me, but I don't even care. I cannot stop laughing my non-laptop-catching butt off!!! P.S. At the end, the monkeybar catches, looks like the guy's butt catches at least two of them by the corner. I realize this is most likely fake, but unless the computers were added to his rear in editing, ouch!!

Watch his butt really closely on the second throw when he's dangling on the pole, you can see that it's edited.

Sensitive area reaches the masses :) I think it's fun and relates to some older "jump in jeans" videos that were successful. A nice slogan would've been nice to add. "Slim enough for any tight #$$" ohhhh dear

I saw this post yesterday and sent it on to my kids, asking if they thought it was "real" or digitally created in some way. What a kooky idea! It will certainly get attention, but I'm not sure if the company will even be noticed (I didn't notice it at all - just noticed it was not a Mac).

Real or fake, if I was the company, this is not how I'd want to be remembered: "The laptop so thin you can catch it in your butt!" Not the greatest sales tagline.

What with this and the Microsoft Office water-slide viral going round; they all seem to be using a mix of CGI and the sort of stuff that the guys who made A Normal Day have been doing.
Basically, I've seen it all before - and this time round, it's not so impressive.

Sooo fake. Sooo obvious. Throwing a laptop isn't that smooth. Even those lame MSI computers aren't that cool. Good advertisement though. You should have gotten paid for it.

Only a PC would be small enough to fit in someone's butt. I hope his virus protection was on. He was throwing that PC kinda hard!! "Ah yes we now how everyone feels about windows" Taking it straight up the whoo- hoo

It's actually an ad for MSI and yes, it's fake. Wired and Gizmodo already reported that. ;)

of course its fake, its done the same way they did ray-ban ad. they actually copied ray-ban with this ad...but it's less good than the original.

It definitely doesn't look real. When the guy throws the laptop, it looks like it's half a pound, and when the other guy catches it, it looks like it just sticks to a certain area of his butt rather than him grabbing it. Shenanigans! lol

<math geek voice>Hmm, the trajectory of the computer being thrown is significantly off from the longetude of the buttcrack.. Yes, its a fake..</math geek voice>
This is a freaking hilarious video! Good marketing? Not sure. But funny? Hell yes!

It's obviously Graphic computing, and I did not think that the video was made to people think it's real, but exactly to take the buzz effect, and it's going fine in that as we see.

He have got a big magnet fixed in his butt. Moreover its quite risky too :P
Sure the video is funny, 'butt' does it work? Let's look at the psychology and the cognitive link that is generated. Butt > crack > crap. Summary = laptop is crap. Whoops! Good try guys butt it doesn't work.
