You can click and drag her around. Try pulling her between two spheres that are touching each other.

It's kind of...creepy. For some reason it is bothering me that it's a woman.

I find myself trying to get her to rest on something. Right now she's reclining comfortably on several spheres together. [Smile]

Hey Narnia. I was going to ask if anyone else tried to get her to rest in a comfy position. That was my instinct.

Strange stuff.

Eh, my instinct was to throw her really high in the sky and watch her slam into the spheres and spin around. I think we've discovered why you're so frustratingly nice to everyone and why I'm such a heartless bastard, Xav.

I also worked at it until I could find a place she could rest in what appeared to be a comfortable position, and stay. Then I closed the window.

Maybe this is a psychology experiment.

Oh my! I played with her a little longer than necessary. I couldn't get over her flexibility. I wish she was a he with a space suit on. I'd feel better about throwing her around.

Okay, I'm going to say it- everyone else seems to be hinting. It reminds me of a woman who's been raped and killed.

It's horrible.

I felt bad for her falling and banging into stuff. I found a nice bubbly place for her to rest, partially reclining.

This would be more fun to watch if it were something like Teletubbies falling though the sky and not the poor dead nekkid lady.

I found it fascinating, and spent some time thinking about how the overlap in her arms and legs helped convey her weight.

Think it's weird just normally? Try it while listening to Josh Groban. Or Poveratti if you prefer. It's kinda...psycho.

If you pull her arms fast enough, they come loose from the rest of the body. Somebody isn't applying a hard enough constraint, there.

If you swing her around fast enough, every joint on her body seperates. It's like Stretch Armstrong, only cooler [Smile]

king of men... I do not want to know why you were trying to pull her arms off.


I tried to get her to do contortion, but discovered that she will only bend backwards on her own, and that its nearly impossible to get her to do it on purpose.

I take it that you have never had women friends who have been raped or abused. I'm not sure why, but to many of us this animation is a haunting reminder of the abuse of woman. It's not that I don't find it amusing. Quite the opposite. I'm disturbed that I am amused and fascinated by pulling and throwing this realistic looking woman around and watching her neck and back break as she falls.

It's all very well and good to be horrified by this. However, please don't pass judgement on those of us who are not.

Not being upset by a meaningless flash animation does not mean that we are not upset by rape or abuse. To make that connection is silly.

I think it's a fascinating display of the idea of ragdoll physics and the effect of gravity upon them. Nothing more, nothing less.

As others have said, I wouldn't find it half so unnerving if the boneless dead thing you toss around wasn't a mostly unclothed woman.

Personally I viewed it as a study in ragdoll physics. My main qualm is that I wish it were a male figure, probably for the exact same reasons the animator chose a female figure (which most likely had nothing to do with misogyny).

Though I have to admit I cringe when she takes a particularly painful looking bump. Reminds me of a video I saw of an unconcious skier plummeting down a very steep mountainside. Ironically, the doctors said the reason the skier survived was probable due to his being unconcious and bouncing around like a ragdoll.

Consider yourself as having received a break. [Wink]

I'm not saying everyone should feel this way, or that anyone should feel bad for being amused by it. I'm just saying that I personally find it disturbing, and heck, I didn't open it again after the first time.
