Seen it before. Didn't do anything for me.

Yeah, those things are so last year.
But as Fred pointed out, you're not supposed to tell people it's scary. That site has it all wrong. You're simply supposed to tell them to look at the picture, try to find something that looks out-of-place -- anything that will get them staring at it, unsuspecting, so it'll get 'em with their guard down. _________________ Michael Scrutchin

You know, I think the thing that startles the viewer is the scream. It seems we are hardwired to react with apprehension to certain pitches and volumes of the human voice. I tried watching this one with the sound off, since I already knew what to expect, and when the picture flashed, nada. In fact, the other night I was at work and logged onto a Website that produces a shrill scream after it's downloaded (on my downtime, of course), and my co-worker at another desk about six feet away jumped. Now that's entertainment. _________________ "If you're talking about censorship, and what things should be shown and what things shouldn't be shown, I've said that as an artist you have no social responsibility whatsoever."
