Hoverboards existed in “Back to the Future II's” fictional year 2015, and they also almost existed for a day in 2014. But it turns out that Funny or Die was behind a viral marketing campaign hoax that hit the web Monday.
HUVrTech posted two videos on YouTube on March 3 that have since taken off (pun kind of intended). The first one stars Tony Hawk, Moby, Terrell Owens and others floating around on what is explained to be a real hoverboard. Adding to its legitimacy, Doc Brown himself, Christopher Llyod, rolled up in a Delorean to deliver the good news, and the goods.
As it turns out, the whole thing was actually just a hoax and hoverboard technology still doesn't exist. Go figure.
