One of those Moments

Have you ever had one of those strange moments while you're online... where you're watching some Flash/Shockwave animation on one browser.. and totally forgot you had a different one going on in background? Well... so far that's happened to me twice... and this time was really weird because I woke up from a nap not long ago.

So imagine this and pretend for a moment... you have the volume off and started loading The Mr. Hankey Construction Set in one browser... and totally forgot about it as it loaded... and then you headed over to your mail and opened up a message that was supposedly a "recording" of a message you missed on voicemail. So you click on the link and find out it's some kind of Flash animation that has sound... so you turn up the volume *just a little* to hear the message. The first thing you notice is that they chose some really corky song for the background, but it seems to go with the pace of the animation... and then what's *freakier* is that it's a Flash message that actually pronounces your name "Rosalyn" correctly, and of course it turns out to be some bogus message that's supposed to talk you into getting Sprint Nickel Nights.

The weird music still plays .... and you refresh the page to see that weird ad again... you watch it again and again... and even try inserting other names in the address but it doesn't say those names, just yours. And THEN you close out the ad... and notice that strange background song is still playing... and realize in the background, you forgot all about the Mr. Hankey (the friendly piece of poop from the Southpark series) page. DOH!

Anyway.. if this post confuses you... I'll understand. Just try it...

1. Turn off your sound. Load The Mr. Hankey Construction Set in one browser.
Let it load all the way to the screen where you see a net and a piece of poop. There's some weird loop that starts to play.
2. Then in another browser open up this Flash advertisement created for people with the name Rosalyn... quickly turn up your sound JUST a little bit and then watch the ad while the music plays. It's just a weird sensation... the things that go through your mind... like why would Sprint choose such an awful background song... why'd they make the advertisement so fake? etc...

Okay, I think I've confused you enough. :)

RAr.. nevermind... I'm making no sense. Ignore me.. ignore this post.
