For Creative Week, GE and BBDO New York created a nifty holographic installation called "Throttle Up" that invites visitors to build a jet engine piece by piece. To promote it, Socialistic captured some super-slow-motion footage of well-known ad people taking some jet-engine-caliber wind to the face. The results are pretty amusing (see five videos after the jump), although cynics would say several of these people deserve a super-slo-mo slap to the face instead. See a few more videos at Throttle Up's Tumblr.
