The people at Levi (and, for that matter, Eggo) just don't get it. CGI should not be used for asinine frivolities like this. They should be ashamed.

Umm guys...hate to break it to you....but YES, Those were his real legs...

They filmed him twice to get the effect (used a computer to superimpose his passive body over the quick legs) but he really can move his legs that way.

=p

Ehh...if you want to be technical, yeah.

Why? Are you being serious? It's not like it's a crime against nature or something. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand what your argument is at all. CGI is just a tool, not a religion. Use it however you want.

I liked John Cleese's version better.

Doing that with your legs is not out of the question if you are double jointed. I've seen people do things crazier than that (and NO CGI!). Are you sure that commercial is CGI and he isn't just...well, talented with being double jointed?

I vote that the normal size requirements for avatars are waived and you get to display yours in full screen size.

Are you sure that's really real? Because his upper part of his body seems stationary compared to the crazy legs movements.

that much was "computer generated" in that they took two shots of him, and meshed them together...

He was on the Today Show talking about it, and did the whole thing live...

He's not double jointed, just very flexible.
