Screamer: Difference between revisions

Various other types of screamers involve staring at a dot or finding the difference between two pictures. One notable example is the 2001 screamer called "[[What's Wrong With This Picture?]]" or simply "What's Wrong?" The screamer, which pretends to be a still image, begins with a normal stock photo of a dining room and asks the viewer to find something wrong with it. After 30 seconds, the image suddenly changes to an eyeless woman with a wide open mouth putting her hands around the side of her face with her pinky fingers raised, accompanied by a loud scream. This screamer gained significant popularity and was even featured in ''[[wikipedia:The New York Times|The New York Times]]'' on April 22, 2002. The creator of the animation, Jaybill, stated that he made the screamer "exclusively for the purpose of scaring my girlfriend."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/22/business/compressed-data-why-is-this-room-so-popular-shh-you-re-about-to-find-out.html?searchResultPosition=1</ref> The screamer also inspired the "[[When you see it|When you see it, you will shitbrix]]" memes where it pretends to be an image (which is a .gif itself) before an animated image appears on the screen.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101016212629/http://www.urlesque.com/2010/10/13/screamers-the-history-of-the-scary-maze-prank/</ref>
