Yeah, like the thousands of people who watched the ad and got REALLY JAZZED I wanted to believe that the hoverboards shown HERE were legit. Naturally, as soon as I watched the video, I got on looking for where I could buy this fantastical thing!!! Because, goddamn, if there was a hoverboard I was going to AT LEAST pine over some "add to cart" button somewhere.

But my research has turned up the cynical worst, it's a fake.

This guy talks about some of the sneaky tricks seen in the video.

Honestly, just googling the video leads to a whopping list of articles discussing the supposed "company" and what they might actually be up to- cuz it sure as heck doesn't seem to be hoverboards.

Not to mention, this, right out of HUVr's terms and conditions: "In addition, the information and materials on this website may contain inaccuracies and typographical errors. HUVr does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information and materials or the reliability of any advice, opinion, statement or other information displayed or distributed through the site." Hmm.

BELIEF: El video viral que todos están compartiendo

Presentado por el propio Christopher Lloyd, y con la participación de personajes tan populares como los deportistas Tony Hawk y Terrel Owens, o el músico Moby, además de una dosis de efectos especiales, el vídeo de la empresa llamada HUVr tech hace que nuestros corazones latan a mil por hora deseando que lo que estamos viendo sea real.

Desafortunadamente ahora se sabe que la página web de vídeos y humor Funny or Die esta detrás de este video. El video podría ser parte de alguna campaña a beneficio, o el anuncio de alguna serie, por el momento no sabemos mucho pero veremos en qué queda todo finalmente, por lo pronto nos queda disfrutar de este excelente video, y porque no, soñar en que algún día tendremos una hoverboard.
