I had never really paid much attention to this story before now, but honestly, this is... well, frankly, bad.

For one, nothing about this video really seems at all... creepy, so to speak. It's a man, and he's staring at you. The story is working off of a boring video and trying to turn it in to something else.

The fact that it's said that you will find nothing upon searching it is silly. That's not how the Youtube search system works. In fact, doing a Youtube search renders the very same video as the first result. I know this is a fictional work, but it seems unnecessary to put a false hook in there.

My other problem is that it's a huge copout. "It is not yet known how they managed to mail their eyes after gouging them out." It's redundant, and that's not exactly a satisfactory answer. Also, telling us that the inscriptions they carved into their forearm had been deciphered... What inscriptions? Where does the story mention inscriptions? It doesn't, not before or after that sentence.

If the video was only viewed by one staff member who went insane, how in god's name did they manage to periodically upload the first 20 seconds? Wouldn't one have to view the first 20 seconds before to be able to cut the clip and upload it? I think you would.

So yeah. I was looking through the Classics category, and I decided to actually look at this. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find why people like it so much. It's not a sensible story. I'm going to assume people like it because of the video, but the story is just bad.

And yes, I'm ruining everyone's day with criticism.
