Is The Incredible Flying Baby Video Real?

Posted by Brett Singer at 7:15 AM on November 4, 2008

The jury is still out, but many are saying this video (via BoingBoing) is phonier than a campaign promise. Take a look and see what you think.

At first, the swinging doesn't seem so bad. Then the "Sporty Babysitter of the Year" (as he was called on the original site this video was on, random-good-stuff.com) gets into some major league Flying Baby action. In general, most are freaked out by the vid, saying that even if its fake, it's a little nauseating. Another BoingBoing commenter had a different take: "I'm horrified, but there's something that I can't help but love about this." Bottom line: don't try this at home. Ever.

So - real or fake?
