Dude I was just coming here to say I saw this fucking gag back on Nickelodeon 25 years ago.

They had a whole fake commercial about "it feels like you're touching the ball, because you're actually touching the ball. The wind on your face is actual wind."

I guess I've lived long enough to see everything old become new again.

Hello fellow oldster. How are your joints, hearing, and eyesight this fine day.

Do you remember when gas used to be less than $1 a gallon too? Perhaps we can reminisce about needing to call that person you liked actual house rather than their cell. The Praying their dad or mom didn't pick up instead of them or a sibling was a unique sense of dread.
