Stare at this picture for 5 minutes - if you dare

Got told aboht this from a friend.
apparently a few people have viewed it for the whole video, and some have felt "funny"
also heard from people i know, that after watching it, they got angry, or upset etc, etc.

I did it myself, and was VERY upset afterwards.

Anyone else here want to give it a go ?
mind over matter, or true story.

Here it is :

Hmm.
I'd really love to try this, but staring at a low resolution .jpg for 5 straight minutes otherwise it "won't work" just seems like a waste of time.
If the picture was higher quality, I'd be more willing to try it, lol.
But thanks for posting anyway!

Me too - but I think my anger set in about half way thru this vid knowing that it was crap...


Anything will change if you stare at it for 5 minutes...

After about 30 seconds, the music was so bad I turned it off. I think the music is enough to piss anyone off. I couldn't handle 5 minutes of that.

I'm sorry but this is just pathetic!!


It's like those messages you get or emails that say.

"Pass this on or your mom will die"

"Send this to 10 people and you'll have good luck"


This is ridiculous and should be in BTS.

If you're getting upset or anxious while/after watching it, then consider that the power of suggestion.

There is nothing really paranormal about it. Go to your bathroom and stare at yourself in the mirror. After a minute or so, let your eyes lose their focus but still continue to look at your reflection.

You'll 'peripherally' morph.

_____________________________
As for the video... I got bored. Sorry. Couldn't make it 5 min. staring at the picture.

I am however, now ready to go to the clubs - is it Friday yet?

Is it normal for the video to give you a burning sensation when you urinate?!?

Internet version of bloody mary, candyman, or insert bogey man story here. No different than any other urban myth.

so.

the power of suggestion.

As i thought.

Hey, its only a thread, had viewed it, read up on it, spoke to others, and wanted to get peoples take on it.

Yikes - real or not, there is one thing you won't catch me doing and that is standing in front of a mirror, lights out, calling for Candyman.

Wow, that was a great experience. I liked the way she turned into a naked Nubian princess. And that dance....whoa!

I don't know if this image was manipulated in the video, or it was just my eye's bugging out.
She looked as if she was changing emotions, anger, sadness, etc.
And she appeared to grow black circles under her eyes.

Because it was blurry it was hard to focus, my brain filled in the blur with overlapping emotion 'fill ins' attempting to see a sharp image, that's my theory, it's a mind trick, an optical illusion.

Nice !! When I stare at myself in a mirror for 5 minutes. You'll have to tie me up !!

So much love will be around i'm afraid I would start making love with myself.
It also works for others around me, they will join me.

OMG! That was like so tottaly creepy
s&f

I love the songs, they are my favorites.
I stare at the vid for 5 minutes and still nothing happen.
Waste of time....I'd rather play Farmville now.

This is just dumb.
Why does it have to be a video? Why not stare at a photograph?
