Yeah, "boner" used to be a word for a foul-up.

It's joined the ranks of words like gay and anal, I suppose.

At first I thought this should go in the amazing thread, but then... WTD! But the way he stumbles away is almost funny. Guess this has element for all three threads. You get amazed, you freak out, you laugh, you lose. Hope that kid is alright.

Jesus, dude, I don't know if "funny" is the way I'd describe it. The moron juggling bowling balls seems like a setup for comedy of epic proportions, and then it ends in actualy unfunny tragedy.

EDIT: And the video's even worse, since the *******s in the background laugh for a good five seconds after the kid gets knocked down until the blood starts pooling aroud his/her head.

I sad "almost". Besides, it obviously fake. Notice how it skips when the bowling ball goes high in the air and again when it supposedly hits her head. Also notice how high it bounces. The video was viral marketing for a Samsung video phone. Pen and BBQ skewer juggling videos wear also used in the campaign. http://www.ragingartists.com/2007/11/ There's a high quality video of the bowling bowl juggling on YouTube, but I can't find it at the moment.

I've heard about fifty different explanations of the video's "fakeness", all of them from self-styled experts, including:

. The video and/or audio "visibly skips" at the point of impact
. The sound of impact does not match what a bowling ball landing on a toddler's head would sound like
. The bowling ball would not have bounced that way (which is bullcrap; bowling balls do bounce, and often pretty high depending on how high it was dropped from)
. There was no blood/the amount of blood was wrong
. The kid's head didn't explode into hundreds of gibs
. The announcer did not yell BOOM HEADSHOT
. The kid is "obviously a doll"
. The kid is "obviously a midget"
. The girl at the beginning is a terrible CGI effect (this has been proven; her hair is visibly pixelated)

Even if the bowling balls were rubber and the kid was a midget, it's still a frighteningly realistic, totally unfunny attempt at edgy humor.
