A [simple effect](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LP3w-oJjH8I) but it works surprisingly well. ---

I respected Russians much more during the cold war when they were a force to be reconned with and not just more clowns posting stupid crap on YouTube. ---

That totally fucking rocked! Such a simple gag, but I couldn’t stop watching or being amazed at how my head kept getting fooled! Every 10 or 15 seconds I found myself giggling at how my brain kept trying to misinterpret what I was seeing! Truly Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there funny! Thanks for linking! ---
