What do you think? Surely the engine and everything has been removed for this to even have a change of happening? Very funny nevertheless!

Answer, the car was lifted with a crane and digitally removed.

Hmm, inspired by the car commercial (Ford I think) running in the TV about a year ago, in which people got rid of their old cars in favour of the new one, by adding ballons to them and letting them float away...?

Been away for a bit but got a laugh out of this when I saw it...
Let's see.. I'd venture a safe guess that my 31' Airship holds more helium than all of those balloons.. And maximum additional capacity without ballast is around 10-15 lbs.
Nothing like the graphic editors today..

well, well, well. This certainly sounds like one for Mythbusters if I ever heard one. Maybe it'll make their next Viral Videos episode?

Yes, that video is most certainly a fake. Those trousers could hold maybe several cubic feet of helium, but one cubic foot only lifts an ounce. There's simply no way that amount of helium could lift a kid let alone a grown up.
