tetka.swf A scantily clad body falling through an endless bubble landscape. You can grab, throw and shake her too.
Most fun I've had since I stole my neighbor's Ken & Barbie dolls.

That is just scary.

It's actually kind of creepy in a "did you see that dead-girl-in the-bikini-falling video yet" way. They should have at least added some sound effects saying "ooomph" and "arghhhh" every time she hits a bubble.

Better yet, change it from a dead-girl-in-a-bikini to Homer Simpson and I think they're onto something. Especially with sound effects of bones breaking and assorted "doh!"s and "owww"s. And maybe change the clouds to kegs of beer.

Is this a frequent way of being creepy?

And more seriously: does anyone know if this is a fetish of some kind? (That is, do you know of a fetish this applies strongly to, as opposed to thinking "yeah, it's probably a fetish of some kind"?)

That thing is strangely disturbing and mesmerizing. It's so peaceful seeming, and then come the impacts and painful distortions.

The slippery bubbles make it look like the flash-author has a wet balloon fetish.

Yeah, there's a balloon fetish, with the sub-fetish of 'wet'. (Other subfetishes would include "popping" the balloons, sitting on them, and others. Probably related to crushing and stomping fetishes somewhere on the Perv-o-matic Venn diagram, along with rubber/latex fetishes.)

Google it for yourself, I'm not burning out my eyeballs for you.

I suddenly feel so icky for saying it was fun.

Change it to a really skinny jonmc clad in flannel falling through beer suds.

How about Bam Margera or Johnny Knoxville falling down an infinite progression of Escher-like stairways? Note: There should be lots of sharp, pointy handrails. Y'know, for the boys.

Ah, I knew about the balloon fetish, but I didn't know about the "wet" sub-fetish. Crushing and stomping I knew, but I didn't know about sitting on balloons.

Is there a bounce fetish?

There is now. Thanks so very much.

It's mildly entertaining to pull her between overlapping baloons and leave her stuck there.

Yeah, I said mildly.
posted by George_Spiggott 29 June | 00:21
Yeah, I found that out by accident - creepy the way she keeps moving even when she is stuck. Plus, you can squeeze her through between really small gaps if you have a desire to.

Don't know about creepy. I second the vote for mesmerizing (if odd). But maybe that's just my half-awake state of mind. (and stinkin' hot. can stinkin' hot be a state of mind?)
posted by dreamsign 29 June | 01:30
Yeah, that creeped the hell out of me. I stopped playing with it after about twenty seconds because it sort of made me feel like a bad person.
posted by ITheCosmos 29 June | 07:44
I had more fun with this than I should have. I'm a bad bad girl.
posted by hojoki 29 June | 11:21
Don't worry about sound affects. I'm providing plenty of them - oooh, ow, ouch, oh, eep, shit, that hurt, etc.
