ESPN or ESPN2 supposedly showcased portions of the 2007 WSSA Championship, WSSA you say? Yes, World Speed Stacking Association.
Watch this video to see what they do:
That is a kid named David Wolf, an 11 year old German kid, playing the game.
So this is real.

Oh it's real! These kids are crazy... I actually have a set of "Stackers" and it is a lot of fun. I'm competitive so always trying to beat my best time. Sadly it's like double these kids best time :)
Never in a million years would I have thought that stacking cups on top of each other would be on ESPN... lol!

I also saw a commercial for them - regular and glow in the dark on some channel last weekend.
I knew it was real but didnt know it was big enough to warrant a TV commercial.

Yep, it's real. My old boss's son played this game all the time. He loved it, and would watch videos of it on YouTube to try and "improve his technique."
I didn't know that it got shown on ESPN, though.
