Unknown miscreants had a good time two weekends ago when they posted hundreds of flashing animated images onto discussion boards hosted by the Landover, Md.-based Epilepsy Foundation.
Flashing lights or bold moving patterns can trigger often violent seizures among 3 percent of the estimated 50 million epileptics worldwide.
"I was on the phone when it happened, and I couldn't move and couldn't speak," RyAnne Fultz, who has epilepsy, told Wired News about her reaction to viewing one of the images on March 23.
Fultz's 11-year-old son walked over and closed the browser window after about 10 seconds. Fortunately, she suffered nothing more than a bad headache.
By then, the second day of vandalism on EpilepsyFoundation.org, the jerks had moved on to hijacking the browsers of anyone who clicked on certain forum posts, filling the screens with bright, flashing colors.

Anyone that has ever had to change terminals at Detroit airport - there is this long (probably 250 yds) dark tunnel you walk or take the moving walkways through - they have flashing neon and new age muzak pumping through it.

Re: Bwa! Rack Dan and the Alliance
This is not really a laughing matter and it figures the peanut gallery would be all over this. Posting flashing images isn't a neat idea either. Have you ever really seen a person have a seizure? I have. It's a pretty scary thing. It will shake you up for a while that's for sure. Our neighbor at our last home had a 13 yr old girl who was epileptic. They tried so many things to control and cure it but even to the time we moved they had not gotten it under control. My wife and I saw her have an attack two times. I'll never forget it. Poor family.

There was a well-intentioned quaker in my school, too. I started bringing suds and laundry, to put him to work.

And I'm sure you held her very close to you in between your legs while she was spazzing and twitching and you told everyone you were administering "First aid"Our neighbor at our last home had a 13 yr old girl who was epileptic.
They just never knew you meant the whole jaw clenching body twizzling episode aided you to "finish" first.
That's not a drool stain in your lap, is it? You helpful man, you.

Re: Bwa! Rack Dan and the Alliance
Great work and it never fails. I'm convinced a lot of you would go to your room and laugh like crazy if you saw someone have a heart attack. Or you would see your neighbors house catch on fire and you wouldn't call the fire department. I've posted on a couple of other message boards before and never came across nearly as many psycopaths as I have here. Did you somehow advertise and try to gather every social deviant on the internet to post here? Whatever.
By the way I've gathered that "rack" means approval for someone or something. But where did it come from and what does it realy mean? "Rack" me.

Re: Bwa! Rack Dan and the Alliance
No - but it's a great idea.Did you somehow advertise and try to gather every social deviant on the internet to post here?
As for "deviating"...why should we not deviate from your apparent path, Dan? Someone somehow has to keep pressing the human evolution angle. You are what you are, but if that's all we have to yearn for, then we're fucked.
If I arch my palm just right and pour warmed vegetable oil into it, would you love me?

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

Re: Bwa! Rack Dan and the Alliance
Oh Dan get over it you little lilly livered fag. One of the cameramen at our old studio had twin girls who would go into seizures sympathytically. And the sound of a fly could trigger it. one would go off, the other smell it and she would be flopping around too, drooling all over.Dan Vogel wrote:This is not really a laughing matter and it figures the peanut gallery would be all over this.

We used to call it on the PA around the studio so everyone could come watch. joked about selling tickets.
