tennis ball key...real or industry hokum?

I found this video on aol's video blog but wanted to embed it below so had to go to youtube. the video would have you believe you can use the air pressure stored up in a tennis ball to unlock your car door. it sounds like hokum or "mule fritters" (as i read recently on the web) to me, but overall it's a pretty funny idea. watch and see if you believe.

personally, i think this is a carefully crafted scheme by the tennis ball industry to get us to waste our money on buying tubes of tennis balls just to burn holes into. it's probably also good for PR to have people carrying around useless tennis balls in their pockets instead of just remembering to keep their keys when they lock their cars.
