I'm not sure how to take this. One the one hand, its a really cool picture but on the other, what an amazing waste of cash. Well, it wasn't my money so, who cares? Now if they could put someone IN the chair...

First reports said that a six-year-old boy was sitting on the chair as it ascended, but he was later found in an attic.

I don’t get it. Where’s the camera? And where’s the tether from the chair to the baloon?

It was for a commercial. That is nothing compared to what some superbowl commercials cost.

Oh, now I see. Watch the video. It’s pretty cool. Looks like monofilament line is the tether to the chair. It’s visible in some of the shots.

Should have used an old toilet, planted with geraniums.
