Car hit by wrecking ball: viral video or viral advertisement?

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
In this video making it around YouTube, a wrecking ball hits a car. But note this text posted by our pals at Tribune:

"This video, titled 'OMG! Car Hit and Flipped By Wrecking-Ball in NYC!' is gaining traction on YouTube.com today. On first glance, it appears that nearby pedestrians caught the shocking incident on tape but a second look shows signs of a viral advertisement. Note the last audible section of the video, you can hear someone screaming 'cut' before a fade to black. The question is, could this be a viral ad for Dodge? Or is it a scene from an upcoming movie?"

Clue: a wrecking unit would not be used on an open street; the street would have been closed by the city.
