What is Digg?92 Comments
- DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23That's disturbing.
- RichPowers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13let's be honest: who didn't pick the Drano the first time?
- rockintom99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Neat use of quicktime!
...But extremely weird, and kindof creepy. Why the hell did she scratch out her eyes? - perre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9The person who created this is an Australian "new media artist" named Van Sowerwine. Doesn't make sense in the category except that they're encoded in QT for the web using it's interactive (pause and jump to here) abilities. But cool stuff anyway. More animations on a higher level of the site:

I get how the animation was put together, but how do you create the little chapter stops like that? Doesn't really matter the animation alone was pretty flawless, but it had these odd creepiness to it too! Good Digg
- jackarmstrong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I tried... I really tried. I tried to watch all of them.
But when she ripped up that picture and started rocking back and forth really quickly.. i had to stop. I paused it, then her gaze made me scared for my life and i closed the whole window.
And I thought Salad Fingers was disturbing... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Why? It cures hiccups.
- pronouncable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6that doll was hot.
- bigky226, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12wtf
- jeblis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Was I the only one laughing?
- mightymouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Okay one more reason to be scared of children *shiver*.
- wotcher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm going to be haunted with disturbing nightmares for the next year of my life.
Thanks Digg. Thanks. Why did I have to check digg one last time RIGHT BEFORE GOING TO BED?
*****... insane.... - rsalsman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm sick of these "doesn't belong on digg" comments.
Isn't the whole point of digg so that the user's can decide what they want to see? So something that appears on digg's main page was chosen to be there. - Quix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Note to creators: stay off the acid.
- heavyd14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They are already using coral cache (nyud.net) to serve the video.
- sam10685, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3remind me never to drink draino.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Who knows? Why the hell did she drink draino? This is really freaky stuff man.
I'm never having kids! - semtex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://www.duggmirror.com/apple/A_bizarre_and_creepy_use_of_Quicktime_animation/
- AKBryant54, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3will a mirror work with the video once the digg effect hits this site?
- republicoftexas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://www.vansowerwine.com.nyud.net:8090/movies/play_with_meint.mov
Direct Link to download it as a video (no interactions). - futurekill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ummm, yeah, that was pretty sick...
- wizawuza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2maybe.. but I didn't start cutting myself afterwards
- BlackSheepx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2....Digg for the blue girl in the coloring book ending. Ughhh. Really talented stop motion animator though.
- jackarmstrong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh. My. God.
I picked a BAD time to turn the lights and TV off.
why... why... WHY... WHY!!?
Frankly, watching her knock over her drawer and huddle against the wall with her monkey was much scarier than watching her drink draino.
I repeat: Oh... my... God.
I hate the man who made this. - SPARTACVS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, WTF. I'm just like "Wow it's pretty late, I'm just going to go shut down the computer before I go to bed... hmmm I think I'll check Digg. WTF is this quicktime thing? *scratches her eyes out* WHAT THE MOTHER ***** IS THIS!!!!!!!" I'm going to hear creaking noises all night.
- A-money, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I've seen this before but it still frickin' creeps me out
- Gunbard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well, I love it.
- triforcer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i saw this at least a year ago on fazed i think, it's pretty much stop motion animation of dolls doing disturbing things like cutting themselves and it's a bit creepy to watch. it's not like a bad pop-up pants ***** like those shock sites are floating around the internet.
- sam10685, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my plumbing is ok though. and i don't want to end up like that doll.
- t1c52002, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Aight if you thought that was cool use of Quicktime. have you checked out:
http://www.sexpacking.com
Basically it is fashion house that created catalogs where you can intereact with it to see the clothes that the "models" are using. - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yes but ak if it violated tos it would be deleted outright and we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.
They are still allowing it to exist in the system, and it's not buried. It's in digg limbo.
(This has happened to a few of my stories too but I am so leet it didn't bother me.) - AKBryant54, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hey semtex and exoendo, maybe, just maybe, it violated a tos for digg??
i havent read them, but ya. maybe hteres a limit to what u can put on digg, like for instance, a claymation of a person stabbing their eyes out and cutting themselves?
just a thought.. - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3semtex, just shut the ***** up, will you?
Maybe it's a bug... quit being a douchebag assuming their is some big conspiracy to censor a cool video.
Ask yourself, what would the motivation be? - semtex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Holy crap! Digg just pulled this from the front page with next to nothing in terms of negative feedback. I followed this story on Digg Spy and there were a few "ok this is lame" and "duplicate story" negatives but certainly not enough to warrant it being pulled from the front page. Digg has truly disappointed me. I gave Digg the benefit of the doubt on the forevergeek stories, but now I have to be convinced that moderators play a HUGE role at digg.com
- ascalonx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dang, why'd I have to watch that at 2:20 in the morning right before bed? Crap.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1tell you what semtex I am reporting this as a bug right now to digg.com I suggest you do the same instead of whinning.
I did a search and your story comes up.. but it does not come up as a buried story. Thus it wasn't 'buried' per se... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can you explain what will happen if I click on that link first? I don't want to scare my whole family with screams at these hour.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1just reported it to digg hq.
- jimejim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh cool. I saw this when I was in Australia last year visiting a friend. It was setup in a large doll house where you went in and sat down in front of a computer screen with a mouse. There were a number of other strange new media art projects there, as well, but this one was definitely one of the more...interesting...ones.
- dawgma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Soo... it's just taking sex + marketing as far as they can, right? That's the point?
Mix hardcore porn with product placement.
//didn't work for me because I didn't want to mouse over ther movie and cause it to stop. so i never even saw the name of the fashion designs. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1you gotta try clicking on different things at the start of the video to create another scene that you can interact with.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the people on diggspy may have been enough.
- LanceWindu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was quite tame. I was expecting something worse after reading comments.
- jeblis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Awesome, but very NSFW
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow, that was creepy as *****, especially the girl and the coloring book. Great stop motion animation, but thanks to that creepy looming hollow sound, I really want to go hang myself now.
- semtex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool man. Thanks.
- dawgma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I clicked on the book, then the drawing of the girl, she scribbled out the picture of the girl, then scribbled out her wrists with a shard of glass.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"No no, princess, you have to cut along the length of your arms to do it right."
- semtex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No. That is not to much to ask for and I admit that I might have overreacted. I really hope I did because like I said before I love this website.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1problem is this is where all the rumors start with IDIOTIC n00bs who think digg is out to get them the forevergeek stuff is all ***** if you actually look into it, started by morons that don't understand that people can bury a story. I for the life of me could never understand how people could be so moronic as to not understand what the report button was for.
I am not saying you are one of those people, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions without evidence. it's fully possibly for digg to have some bugs now and then... is that such a far fetched concept? -
