Okay, am I the only one who initially thought something NSFW was happening in that gif? Is it just me? Do I have penises on the brain?

Crazy, Some latin American country where a bunch of dudes are putting explosives on their sledghammers and then slamming them on the ground. There looks to be hundreds of them. Sounds like a war zone.
Here’s a link to the full video NSFW SITE: http://2leep.com/bar.php?s=23331
The only problem I have with taking this to be genuine is that I can’t see where the piece of wood comes from. It just appears from the side of the road.
My theory is that the turbulent air flow around the bottom rear of the truck managed to whip the 2x4 into the air and a little bit sideways. Whether or not that actually happened is debatable but from what I know about fluid flow it is technically possible though very unlikely.
Remember at the speed required to produce a flow pattern with that kind of turbulent power they’d have to be going super fast so the 2x4 could even have been thrown in the same direction as the truck but slightly up and to the right, but the car is going so much faster than it that relative to the car it is going super fast backwards.

The video was made by the Dragon Age 2 team.
It is genuine - that full video made the rounds a week ago or so - ehowa.com (NSFW) is where I saw it first.
Also fairly sure I saw an interview with the woman who was driving the car on some morning news show.

Also, who just films themselves driving down the road frequently enough that they catch on video the one in a million chance of this happening.
I don’t think it was air flow, I think it was just a piece of wood laying on the road and was kicked up by the wheel of the trailer as it ran over it.

edit: OK, nevermind, I guess. I saw the explanation link after I posted that.
So I’m driving down the road at high speed taking video of two trucks playing cat and mouse AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS?

Definitely real, at least in that they did a news story on it since the accident was local and the story had gone national or something. In the interview, she said she was recording because the driver(s) were driving pretty badly and she was going to report them (I think). And it was definitely not something that fell off one of them, it was road debris that the left vehicle kicked up.
It could only have been better if she had been drinking a cup of coffee, talking on her cell phone, adjusting the radio volume, driving faster than the posted speed limit AND filming the two poorly behaving trucks in the lanes up ahead.
Are you trying to say it’s somehow her fault that a piece of road debris got kicked up into her windshield? I can drive with one hand on the wheel just fine, and that’s all it takes to hold a camera.
It’s a belt? Or some sort of thing attached to his belt?
Man, all I can see now is dicks, too.
As unlikely as it seems, I don’t see the penis joke in this animated gif. I feel so, so… out of it.
No, more like weak commentary on Murphy’s Law.
She is very fortunate she didn’t lose her life. Or maybe having her hand on her cell phone prevented her from suddenly jerking the wheel with both hands, thus saving her life. Who knows?

Think of where a penis would normally be located on a male of our species and look there. You might see a shape resembling one.
You want me to look in another man’s boxer shorts? I’m not too hip on doing that, Warren. Meanwhile, I still don’t get the joke.*
*I’m too busy watching that hat fly off his head to see much else. What a silly thing to do with a big hammer.
There’s something attached to the guy’s jeans, Tim — maybe through one of the tool loops, maybe through Photoshop. Looks pink or purple and is visible flopping around between the guy’s legs as he falls over.
