On second visit: I think the experience would be _hugely_ less creepy, more fun if there was noise added. Specifically, something along the lines of “Boing!” every time she hit a…uh…balloon-rock-bubble-thing.

I’ve had the OP’s link bookmarked ever since I saw it on Newgrounds. It’s … oddly hypnotic.

It was three minutes of fun. Then it got boring.

How on earth is it misogynistic? Really.

A **completely** passive woman is dropped down a bottomless pit of (some weird round objects), from which she bounces, utterly without will or resistance, totally an object, not a person.

**shudders**

Seriously? None of you are bothered by this?

Nope

Not at all.  
I don’t know if this will creep you out more but she is a dead body. I don’t really see why you call it a person. It doesn’t talk or feel pain or react to anything. I think you are being a tad oversensitive. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Oh. Well, dropping a woman’s corpse down a bottomless pit is _much_ less … disturbing. :eek:

Nah, she breathes when she stops. It\* is \* a bit mean-spirited, I think.

I think the breathing is accidental.

Although when I watch it, I supply the “Mary Queen of Scots” sounds fx.  
Ohhhh!

AHHHHHH!

Then when she comes to a stop.

“I think she’s dead.”  
“No I’m not!”

Toss her again and repeat.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

I would so like to have that as a screensaver. Too bad you can’t make her look like people you know.

People, people. She’s not _falling_. The bubbles are _rising_.

All I can say is, can you imagine how much weirder Ally McBeal would have been if this had been available back then instead of just that stupid dancing baby?

She got wedged and I couldn’t move her. How do you make her move?

But I think it is creepy and wish whoever does these would do them to a guy as well.

Or a dog–I’m anti-dog today.

Cannot get the Hilton or Bush ones to work.

The creepiest thing is that she is “dead”, to me.

Ah well, give me Yoshi any day…or Mario–bounce!

Click her with your mouse. If you do it real quick, it’s like this jerking motion.

and **Cervaise,** I would love to see Callista-na-Gig flopping along with her.
