This guy is kitesailing and a 737 comes by and his kite snags on the
empennage. Off he goes into the wild blue yonder. Is this video a hoax?

Are you a spammer or did you really not watch the end of the video.
Drink Sprite.

I never pay attention to commercials. But, how did they do it if it's
fake. You can see the dude getting jerked up into the air like a shot
and you can see his kite flapping stuck on the end of the wing. (not
empennage as I first thought.)

Either you're kidding, or you've just recorded your voting plans in the next
election.
(That means you're voting for the same candidates that I'm voting against.)

This happens all the time. So much so that the govt is forcing the airlines
to include it in their fare structure to capture the correct transportation
taxes!

I'm voting for change. I'm voting for Obama. He's for change and change
is better than no change. What this country needs is change.

But you never answered my question is it real or is it fake? If it's
fake then how did they fake it so good? I checked Snopes to see if it
was an urban legend but they don't say anything about it.

No, its very very real, and they had to pay the "dude" on the
kiteboard $20 million for the stunt (and to cover his medical bills).

If you want to vote for change, vote Ron Paul.

Yes, socialism would be a change. Then again, so would tribal rule.

"you're an idiot"

There are some most excellent video editing and splicing utilities out there
along with digital manipulation to create animated life like cartoons.
