If is fake, the site is a advertisement for Microsoft office. Think about it. The guy would have been travailing at around 70mph or more. then comes to a dead stop in three feet of water in a plastic pool. The pool would have been ripped off the pedestal given the angel he hit it. Be for I even thing its real I want to see more movies of the flight and landing along with the prep work. Microsoft has doe this kind of thing before to get people to their add sites.

Microsoft is known for doing stuff like this. Like most of their ads that are supposed to seem real, they hire actors and such even for ones they claim they're real people using microsoft products.

you should see microsoft's latest campaign in Russia or Czech Republic. The North American version has an Asian, Black and White at a table having a meeting.

The Eastern European version photoshopped a white person's head on the black person...haha They even forgot to photoshop his hand!

Not to mention he's using a white iBook

Microsoft has been known to do kinda dumb ads... They've had some showcasing windows XP but it was photoshopped into a apple powerbook.

Another funny blunder with Windows 7. Balmer speaking on windows 7 with a photo of Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro.

Apparently their ad company is Apple based!
