A Life Lesson: Running on Water

           So... the world of viral videos has amazed me again. In the summer I watched a few videos on Youtube that absolutely blew me away ...and I was certain that it was possible to actually walk on water. And I’m not talking that FAKE Criss Angel walking on water, I’m talking about the REAL walking on water—actually I’m talking about running on water. There’s a very popular Youtube video with 8.4 million views called Liquid Mountaineering. Before you read on, please watch this video (re-watch it even if you have seen it).

           So there you have it, running on water is legit. Or at this video has fooled many of the 8.4 million viewers into believing it. Here’s a cut out section of comments from Youtube to show you how I’m not the only one who’s been tricked.

           The video below will show you the truth about running on water. It was actually an incredible marketing ploy by a company called Hi-Tec that specializes in selling water resistant shoes and clothing. There’s no doubt their products are great for repelling water, but no shoe in the world will ever be able to repel gravity.

           And there you have it. For the time being, running on water is not possible (but it’s only a matter of time before Usain Bolt proves us wrong). Believe it or not, this video was also shown on ESPN and the anchors had a hard time trying to determine if it was real or not. The moral of the story is don’t believe everything you watch on the internet... no wait, don’t believe ANYTHING you see on the internet, because if we did Justin Bieber would actually be dead.
