Who doesn’t like a clever and well constructed Rube Goldberg machine? Along with perfectly choreographed treadmill dance routines, I’ll tip my hat to any scheme that can distract the viewer from how shitty Ok Go songs are.
In the grand tradition of creating complex gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect and convoluted ways, Red Bull have just released footage of the most extreme Rube Golberg machine ever constructed with the Red Bull Athlete Machine. The clip stars an eclectic mix of sport stars including the world’s most famous Olympic hurdler not to medal, Lolo Jones. Given the sheer scale and ornate nature of the operation, we predict this will be one of the more successful viral campaigns of the year.
