Yes, dammit! I know What's Wrong With That Picture!

Dear friend/relative/co-worker,

I have seen that fucking “What’s wrong with this picture?” picture already! I have been told about it one-fucking-hun-fucking-dred-fucking-mill-fucking-ion fucking times already!

Og Angry!

OG SMASH!!!

(Woohoo! I got one in!!! :D)

You wouldn’t want to flesh out your little rant a bit, would you Tretiak? Let us know what the hell you’re foaming about? A link, perhaps? Embellishment is the heart of good story telling, after all.

There’s a good man.

I hate the innocuous-picture-la-la-la-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-SCARY FACE-SCREAMING. I hate being scared shitless in the name of humourous prankery. It wasn’t fucking funny.

Of course, now that I know it’s coming, it’s even less funny.

Christ almighty, I’ve been given links to no less than five of these stupid things. Of course, after picture #1, the other four were a matter of loading it up and waiting for the other shoe to fall. “Ok, picture of a room, let’s wait for the scary face or running person or dead rabbit or whatever they’re going to toss in here.”

I am begging for a link because none of this is making a lick of sense to me.

So what is up with this Og smash thing? Is it a reference to the smashy smilie back from the bboy boards?

Wait for it.

It all started here.

Well, that’s completely stupid. What a letdown.

Not only stupid but also hazardous.

Post a link like that on this board, get thrown out.

Holy fucking Christ DON’T DO THAT!

GAAAAH!

Jesus, I’m an 18-year-old male and I think that counts as a heart attack for me. I’m gonna have nightmares now. Tuba’s right, keep that shit away. Someone’s liable to faint and die.

Ah, that makes sense. I think. Thanks.

Oh, please. I was more traumatized by the decoration in that room than by the “scary” face that popped up. Am I missing something?

It depends on your state of mind, I guess.

First time I came accross this link (or a simliar one, didn’t click to check) I was half-asleep having just woken up, and I was catching up on some of my susbcribed newsgroups when I came accross it. Since it was from a regular poster I clicked on it, waited a bit and was going to click on the ‘close window’ at the corner of the screen when it screamed at me. My gf had been listening to loud music on headphones and hadn’t turned the volume down before leaving for work. The shock of the picture changing combined with the very loud shrill scream and the fact that I was going to click on something made me jump and startled me so much I ended up throwing the mouse. I went rigid, then slack. My heart was pounding, and my I had lost my breath.

Of course, if you’re sitting at home, reading a thread about the said page and click on it expecting to be startled, I guess it’s pretty lame.

I had a good laugh after seeing it the first time, and the next times I recognized the URL so I didn’t even click on it. I did forward it to a ng where I’m a reg, and it got basically the same reaction I had to it.

But that was a couple of weeks ago, by now, in internet time, the joke is very very old, I guess.

Well, I guess that’s enough rambling by me on this subject… :slight_smile:

Scaring people is a bannable offense?

:eek: BOO!:eek:

Um… No disrespect intended, but where in the rules does it say that either empty rooms or ‘scary’ faces are forbidden?

I’m with matt on this…I must be missing something. In its natural habitat of unlabeled posting, sure I can see why posting this link (or the handful of others like it) could be an offence worthy of a warning, but since, in this case, it was just posted as an explaination of what the thread was about (with, honestly, ample warning that it was supposed to be scary (albiet in the other posts of the thread)), I don’t see why qshapadooy was warned.

Unless, of course, I’m misinterpreting Tuba’s post in which case I apologise.

(FTR, after the 2nd or 3rd of these…they cease to be startling…Although the kitty one (no link, mostly because I’ve forgotten it) was cute.)

It’s not that scary faces or empty rooms is forbidden. It’s the juxtoposition of the two that’s troublesome.

I had been spared the pleasure of being forwarded a link to one of these.

Sweet merciful crap, that’s annoying. Remind me to soundly bludgeon anyone who does forward me one.

I think that posting a link to one of these pages here falls under the general heading of “being a jerk”. Whether it’s a ban-worthy case of “being a jerk” is a question I’ll defer to Tuba and the mods.
