    this is crazy. at first, i didn’t see it, then it waved crazily, and then a few seconds later, it was just waving steadily without me trying to make my eyes see it. TRIPPY!! so cool.

    Well, I’m drunk, and it doesn’t move. So I guess it weighs up.

    This what happens when you put a note in front of the picture…. you probably drink!

    This is what happens when you eat psychedelic mushrooms.

    This is really trippy. At first I read the text – nothing big, then when I read the full description about the wavy technique, I looked at it again and boom it hit me lol.

    I’m thinking that it may have something to do with the color choice and also the treatment of drop shadows and outlines on certain part of the text.

    Awesome post!

    Now I know not to read signs when driving drunk! This will come in handy.

    Apparently, If you view it WHILE you are already drunk, it doesn’t work. Not wavy for me.

    Nice trick, but this aint no ad. Print it out and you will see that this works only with a computer-monitor and not on paper/cloth.

    When I first came to the site, I looked at the picture and nothing happened. Read the description, went back to the picture and actually read steadily from top to bottom, and the whole thing started waving.

    Awesome!

    I thought it meant you would see a lot of one thing. It doesn’t wave to me.

    Here is another state PSA for drinking and driving but it also incorporates not wearing a seat-belt.

    It is a very sad story with a very sad ending. The victim of the accident mentioned in the video had just came back to Montana with his wife and two small children. He and a friend were driving home together when the driver lost control and Jeremy was thrown from the vehicle. Because the friend was drunk, he is sitting in jail for manslaughter and you have a wife without a husband and two kids without their daddy. Sad stuff.
