I wasn't there for this, the story was related to me. But I found it funny.

You know those webpages designed to startle the viewer by presenting an ordinary photograph and prompting the viewer to carefully examine it for some hidden detail, then about 30-40 seconds into viewing, the picture suddenly changes to a scary face with an associated screaming sound? Scares the shit out of most people the first time they see it.

Some sick bastard awhile back did that with some scanned "Where's Waldo" images. So this fellow and his 4-5 year old kid were on the site, the kid was merrily searching for Waldo, and the transition flashed on the screen and wailed from the speakers. The kid turned, terror-struck, to clutch his father. After a couple minutes he asked through sobs, "Daddy, why do people DO things like that?"

Good times.

I know I'm going to Hell, but that story made me laugh my ass off. I do not condone the terrifying of children.
