I started seeing the 'Newfoundland Dolphin Stampede' video a couple of months ago and it is still getting passed around. The version above is supposedly shot in Garden Cove, Placentia Bay I am suspicious especially since the same dolphin video was posted 3 years ago claiming it was shot in Sea of Cortez between Isla la Guardia and Bajia de los Angeles. And while I can't confirm that location, I think the landscape looks a lot more like southern California than Placentia Bay.

This one was passed around a few winters ago but still turns up from time to time. The video supposedly shows a Newfoundland Ferry, usually identified as The Caribou, stuck offshore in a storm. Anyone with a passing familiarity with the Marine Atlantic ferries can see that it is not The Caribou -- or even a similar boat! It's hard to pin down exactly where the video was filmed but I'm betting on New Zealand, as suggested in this version of the video. Check out the images of the ship Suilven, it looks like a match.

Okay, you'd have to have a short memory (and be extremely gullible) to think this one might be real. The Canadian police chase news coverage that often appears as a Newfoundland car chase on Youtube is actually a piece of an ad for winter tires from Midas that began airing a couple of years ago. The ad was created by the Vancouver office of DDB and, according to MarketingMag.ca, was shot in Vancouver as well -- on a snowless September day.
