The fact that world record holding tight-rope walker, Faith Dickey, managed to walk a tight rope between two moving trucks is incredible. The fact that these two drivers are so precise with their speed and control is incredible. The fact that some moron in Volvo's marketing department decided to call it the "The Ballerina Stunt," despite the fact that Dickey isn't a ballerina, and there is no ballet in the stunt, is incredible in a bad way.

We can imagine a bunch of ballerinas says "that's not ballet" right at the same time as Ms. Dickey says "I'm not a ballerina, I'm a funambulist, damnnit" just before explaining that "funambulist" is the technical term for "tight-rope walker."
