Quite the agile little plane they've got there!

In the Cessna I flew in with my dad at roughly that age, we were limited to parabolic arc "zero-g dives". But that was quite fun, and I still remember my dad letting me take the yoke and try them out myself (after he climbed to a safe altitude).

Get that girl behind a stick or yoke in a two-seater ASAP!

Not really. They aren't connected in some arcing story line. They're all connected, but they're all independent of each other. Playing Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas would get you acquainted with the UI and features mainly.

At the arc of his wind-up right before he swings down that his fingers are extended up and out. Definitely a slap.

Still, my only point was is the marketing of this video as if a helpless woman is being savagely assaulted.

She kicked him and he slapped her.

Again, not a justified action by the cop, but also not a gang of violent, blood-thirsty cops pounding the shit out of a poor little innocent woman (which is more what I was expecting coming in here).

A title more to my liking would be along the lines of "Cop Overreacts to Minor Assault from Handcuffed Suspect." or "Hey, Stupid. Don't Kick Cops."

This is a really nice example of sinusoidal motions and Lissajous trajectories! The center of mass of all the points makes a circular 1:1 Lissajous trajectory, which gives the false impression that the points are curving: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve.

However, to mark this as an 'illusion' is a bit of a stretch. Illusions are created by a failure of our assumptions about a system we are viewing, and strong illusions maintain this failure upon viewing even when the mechanism of the illusion is revealed to the viewer. Many people may have the 'illusion' that the balls were traveling in arcs in the beginning, but once it was pointed out that the balls were traveling in straight lines, viewers have no problem viewing the original movie without being deceived. To call this an illusion would be like calling horse galloping an illusion: http://100swallows.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/horse-dont-hop/, which is another case where people were just incorrectly applying their intuition, rather than properly observing the details.
