- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -12/+338I thought if you stare long enough the top comes off.
- quomen, on 07/23/2008, -2/+327Honestly I couldn't watch that without cringing. Even though they promised that it wasn't a scare video, I know that everone lies.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -6/+274i couldnt find the x...boobies were present
- tw0bit, on 07/23/2008, -6/+270Note: it still works if you start staring at her ***** and continue to

- nVious, on 07/23/2008, -11/+105Anything with ***** = DIGG
- nmcphee, on 07/23/2008, -1/+83because they promised it wasn't a scare video I checked the comments first.
- Aliendude, on 07/23/2008, -2/+73The effect is explained by the opponent processing theory of color vision. It basically says there are 3 pigment types... black/white, blue/yellow and red/green. After looking at one color for a long period of time the cells in your eyes become accustomed to it in a process called bleaching. The image will remain visible after its removal as the pigments go back to their neutral state... but the after image you see will be the opposite colors of what was originally viewed... Blue is opposite yellow, so the after image on her body made her appear yellowish, etc.
I now feel like the biggest nerd on Digg. Model in bathing suit = psychology lesson? - GiggleStick, on 07/23/2008, -0/+62Your color perception comes from 3 types of cells in the retina, one for each color Red, Blue & Green (this is why we use those colors in our displays.) When you stare at a color for a length of time, the neurons connected to the cells become fatigued and start firing much slower. Then, when you look at a white screen, you will see the opposite color, because the neurons for the colors that hadn't been firing as much are firing, but the other ones are still fatigued, so you perceive the negative color than you were staring at. Since the first image is a negative color image, when it changes to a grey scale, you briefly perceive they negative image of it. The grey scale helps to make it sharper, but you could also stare at a white spot quickly and see a much less defined color image.
- Zong, on 07/23/2008, -3/+57dugg for allowing me to stare and learn at the same time
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+52If you stare too long though, something else happens....
- AngelX, on 07/23/2008, -2/+47I didn't believe the description so I fast forwarded it once on mute just to be safe.
- buddyw, on 07/23/2008, -1/+44If she's drunk enough.
- RoboHobo, on 07/23/2008, -0/+42Here's another version of this illusion w/ a photoshop action for making your own.
http://www.johnsadowski.com/big_spanish_castle.php - davidbeile, on 07/23/2008, -4/+40It does, if you're drunk enough.
- Stupidumb, on 07/23/2008, -3/+34That was an amazing explanation. If more people were like you instead of calling each other fags, the world would be better place, you fag.

- Badman996, on 07/23/2008, -0/+28After being promised I still had to turn the sound down and skip through the video to make sure.
Damn you internet for making me get scared at every Optical Illusion video. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+28Especially when cleavage is involved. They could be executing puppies across the room and I'd still only see cleavage.
- efitz11, on 07/23/2008, -0/+26i think it moved
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -3/+25Yeah, I was disappointed too.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -2/+23Buried for crappy player needing to re-stream/re-download the video each type I click replay.
- efitz11, on 07/23/2008, -1/+21dugg for house quote
- aoneal417, on 07/23/2008, -0/+19it works the same way if you stare at her boobs.. it was for science that i did it, not for that other reason
- amauldin71, on 07/23/2008, -6/+25Thought it was going to turn out to be a dude....
- thedragon4453, on 07/23/2008, -1/+20Its learning, but with *****!
- Mrstupid7, on 07/23/2008, -0/+19She was a woman that was used to show the affects of airbrushing and photoshop. There's a rollover picture of the unadultured photo and this photo, and it's pretty dramatically different, especially the facial area.

- davidbeile, on 07/23/2008, -2/+17Hence the name, *****.
- Urbanninja622, on 07/23/2008, -3/+18Most people don't realize how simple it is to trick your eyes
- qMac, on 07/23/2008, -6/+19It's hard to only stare at the little x
- rmmcclay, on 07/23/2008, -2/+15This illusion is more effective as a two frame animated gif.
- bigmrpig, on 07/23/2008, -0/+12Did you seriously just make that?
- mhuggins, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11Spoiler part three:
http://homepage.mac.com/gapodaca/digital/bikini/bi ... - diggerphelps, on 07/23/2008, -1/+12'Colored woman' is so 1950's.
We call them Nappy Headed Ho's now. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+12original..
http://www.johnsadowski.com/big_spanish_castle.php - platipuz, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10Get your ass back to /b/
- Stoyanov, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9Dilsexya.
- EmperorPsiblade, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10Yeah, we miss your ass.
- D3koy, on 07/23/2008, -5/+13So, did anyone else have trouble finding the 'X' ?
- tnoy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8***** > castle.
- mikee7899, on 07/23/2008, -2/+10how does it do that? wheres my explanation?
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8It's not a screamer. It's interesting. Turn the sound down if you're scared!
- tama00, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8digg may as well be retiled to "break.com live feed"
- sysop073, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7I was just going to post this link, I think this is the original version of this illusion, and I find it much more effective
- recruz, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8@stupidumb: *applaud*
- MrPingu, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8WTF IS THIS *****?
- Sukki, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7I've seen this done before, just not with a model in a bikini.
But I was left wondering what was so interesting until the little explanation. I didn't lose my eye focus I guess...because I never saw the black and white image, it appeared to be in color the entire time. Anyone else have that happen? - Cloud7654, on 07/23/2008, -2/+8Just stare at those. Still works. :D
