Lol wth?

Some people, who played this "game" (watch the videos in certain conditions) fell ill. I heard they suffered from vomiting, headaches, hallucinations, unexplained fear etc.


The only illness I got from it is boredom.

What a fake lick shit. I will shit bricks if this is true.

The children with black eyes will watch you shit bricks.

But who made this, and why?

...
Read the video desc.
"These videos were part of a "game" created by the folks at SomethingAwful, and they were about a fictional TV hijacking.

This video was originally made to show how the hijack MAY have been presented if a TV station in Wyoming was really hijacked. But now that the "game" is over, this is somewhat of an archive of the videos since the original uploader pulled them off YouTube.

To put it simple: It's Fake."

It was all part of a game.

The Wyoming Incident (or The Wyoming Hijacking) is a lesser known case of television broadcast hijacking/hacking. A hacker managed to interrupt broadcasts from a local programming channel (believed to serve several smaller communities in the county of Niobrara) and aired his/her own video. The video contained numerous clips of disembodied, human heads showing various emotions and "poses". The camera position changed often (usually every ten-to-fifteen seconds) and the video was often interrupted by a "SPECIAL PRESENTATION" announcement. This clip is taken from one of these intervals.

The video is mostly locally well-known, and would probably not even be that popular if it were not for the effects it had on the few residents who watched it for an extended period of time. Complaints included vomiting, hallucinations, headaches, etc. While some believed it was paranormal, specialists have determined that the cause of these afflictions were frequencies played regularly throughout the broadcast. In this clip, the frequency being played is somewhere between 17 and 19 hz. This range of frequency, when played for long periods of time, causes the eyes to subtly vibrate, sometimes inducing visual hallucinations.

This video is significant in that is one of the most recent television hijackings. Such actions were rare even in the '80s (search for Chicago Max Headroom Incident) and are even more rare today. The hacker has not yet been caught, and all attempts to trace the video have proven futile.

That's all i can say

Thanks for copy-pasting that bull. It's a legend, none of it happened.

FIRST:

look at the video description: ITS FAKE!

SECOND:

if you were watching the news, back then, how would you react to it, when a 17 Hertz pitch-noise distracts you from everything?

THIRD:

this was made for a game, and some forum continued making such video's.

FOURTH:

wow actually its hella scary. When the first face appeared I was scared as hell! The most important part of the mindfuck is the 17 Hertz pitch-noise which fucks up your brain's centre of knowledge.
You can't think about the "fakeness" of something without that, and so you'll start hallicunating.

FIFTH:

it might be you aren't afflicted by the video because you didn't put the boxes on a high volume, or putted down the volume when it rose.
This is the most important part of it, so if you want to fully "enjoy" it, put your boxes really hard and don't try to get distracted by things.

WTFD! (Watch the friggen description!)

Can't you just LOOK at it BEFORE commenting it's a fake video?
OF COURSE it's fake, what else would you expect! People aren't able to hijack a tv channel in real life, it's made for some scary game!

You've seen in this thread BEFORE that the cause of the headaches etc. is the 17 Hertz pitch-sound?
I had to watch the video with some sh*ty speakers that cut out at 15 herts... I plan on watching it again when I get my surround sound working again.
