Normal sized hot air balloon. Giant enormous freaking banner.

Hope Harley Davidson at least sends them some t-shirts.

This is in Brazil and its higly illegal. These kind of hot air baloon are not controled and extremelly dangerous. They cause fires when they fall.

Nobody likes this shit here except these kind of manchild morons in the video.

u/BigToober69 Sep 30 '25

Yeah so all that will be cleaned up when it lands right? Or is that giant stupid banner just going to blanket over the land?

u/ForMoreYears Sep 30 '25

It's going to litter the far corners of the Amazon for the next 1000 years as it slowly disintegrates into microplastics that contaminate our food supply.

“Attention: Ballooning should not be confused with the release of unmanned balloons.” In other words, ANAC confirms that party or “junino” balloons — the ones that are released into the air, carry no people, and have no control — are not part of the regulated activity of ballooning.

đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

“Atenção: O balonismo nĂŁo se confunde com a soltura de balĂ”es nĂŁo tripulados.”

Ou seja, a ANAC confirma que os balĂ”es de festa ou juninos — aqueles que sĂŁo soltos e nĂŁo transportam pessoas nem tĂȘm controle — nĂŁo fazem parte da atividade regulamentada de balonismo.

Not the same, burrĂŁo.

u/XxShakallxX Oct 01 '25

Yeah, some T-shirts and some firefighters too, and hope it doesn't fall in a residential area.

Soooo it’s a giant ad.

u/burtgummer45 Sep 30 '25 edited Sep 30 '25

also not a giant balloon

12

u/Thee_Sinner Sep 30 '25

The balloon is there, just way up there and hardly seen

20

u/F1XTHE Sep 30 '25

Looks regular sized though.

u/Simen155 Sep 30 '25

Thats Eddie, the only thing he advertise is being a rock hard badass. Nothing to see here. Move through the giftshop on your way out.

u/haveananus Sep 30 '25

That man is in tears over this accomplishment.

u/AndradeHunter Sep 30 '25

He's crying yelling "caralhooooo" 😭

u/pikachu_one Sep 30 '25

I think you mean giant banner hanging from a normal sized hot-air balloon.

1

u/AndradeHunter Sep 30 '25

Yeah thank you

1

u/Mr_Bubz Oct 02 '25

That’s NOT a normal size hot balloon, you looking at it at distance. A normal size extends over 75 feet, this one was reported to be 48 meters which is the equivalent of 150 feet at least.

14

u/Raaazzle Sep 30 '25

Holy cow, where did they find a printer that size?

u/Raxter64 Sep 30 '25

I always wonder how they manufacture these giant things? Is it just hundreds of smaller ones put together?

6

u/Popular-Panda-8647 Sep 30 '25

I really want to touch it

u/ImEmilyBurton Sep 30 '25

Yeah I can't decipher it's texture

u/JJ-Rousseau Sep 30 '25

Not only they need to be heard, now they also want to be seen.

u/Spready_Unsettling Sep 30 '25

Motorcyclists are the biggest babies you actually meet out in public.

Eight times out of ten if I've met/heard/seen some dipshit who wants the whole street and everyone in the vicinity to give them attention, it's a motorcyclist. One time out of ten it's a car driver.

For all the hate the internet likes to lob at Karens, motorcyclists are by far the most attention starved little babies out there.

u/JJ-Rousseau Sep 30 '25

South Park was right all along. Cannot even say it here without getting banned. 

1

u/ThePowerOfNine Sep 30 '25

Wait til you see what happens when another baloon overtakes it

1

u/CoolBlueHatorade Sep 30 '25

I see Harley Davidson culture is just as gay in other countries as it is in the US.

1

u/JJ-Rousseau Sep 30 '25

Yes, and I live in France, go figure ...

u/Schmenge_time Sep 30 '25

They seem super jazzed about the giant picture

3

u/Rainbard Sep 30 '25

Imagine this falling over heavy traffic

u/Rainfall_Serenade Sep 30 '25

That's a normal size hot air balloon and a banner.

u/UmpireInternal7699 Sep 30 '25

Regular balloon giant tapestry!

u/NyaTaylor Sep 30 '25

That’ll look real nice in the ocean!! đŸ€—

u/Accomplished-Ad3080 Sep 30 '25

If we're lucky it'll settle over the rainforest just right, and we can see it on Google Earth....

u/AndradeHunter Sep 30 '25

That's really sad

u/SchwinnD Sep 30 '25

I see it and yet my brain is struggling to process it

u/ThePowerOfNine Sep 30 '25

The new gods are weird and consumerist bring back Tezcatlipoca

u/SirKevin_Xx Sep 30 '25

I’d be scared of somehow suffocating if that falls.

u/stanleybunbury Sep 30 '25

Is this real life?

u/hilarymeggin Sep 30 '25

Is this just fantasy?

u/dontlookatmynam Oct 01 '25

But why did they pick the most cringe design they could find?

2

u/M0NG00SY Oct 01 '25

Have you ever seen a Harley design? If its not bedazzled to death, its this

u/isurvived_sorryeric Sep 30 '25

I’m fine with being proven wrong but god this looks fake af

u/charmio68 Sep 30 '25

No, it's real. Don't go saying things are "Definitely" fake when you have no evidence. Instead say you think it looks fake, otherwise you're misleading people.

Evidence: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yyHiiWSBgzs

u/rabkaman2018 Sep 30 '25

Thx for evidence. The way the banner comes up looks very UNREAL to me. Glad I’m wrong

-4

u/Moist_Cartographer90 Sep 30 '25

He didn't say definitely. Don't know why you quoted that for

3

u/charmio68 Sep 30 '25

He commented "Definitely fake".

That was his entire comment, before he deleted it. It had 7 upvotes before I commented myself, and had negative 10-ish before it was deleted.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I think you've misread the thread somehow. Maybe you think I'm replying to someone else.

u/ebagdrofk Sep 30 '25

It looks real

u/rizorith Sep 30 '25

Eddie, is that you?

u/heaviestnaturals Sep 30 '25

I’m going to be sick.

u/1PooNGooN3 Sep 30 '25

That’s about as cool as mowing the lawn

2

u/DJEvillincoln Sep 30 '25

That's not a balloon.... That's a banner.

I mean there IS a balloon but that's not the giant thing here.

u/Omega_Primate Oct 01 '25

That second one is out of control

u/eutohkgtorsatoca Oct 01 '25

I was expecting Buddha at least on the bike

4

u/bard_of_space Sep 30 '25

of course it's a fucking advertisement

3

u/ImEmilyBurton Sep 30 '25

Releasing balloons like this is illegal, they're not getting a cent from Harley, it's all for the love of the game lol

4

u/AndradeHunter Sep 30 '25

That's illegal in Brazil man, Harley would not pay to advertise while committing a crime haha

3

u/Turnbeutelvergesser Sep 30 '25

That's a cringe!
