Keep your mouse to yourself
March 1st, 2007 by MikeI came across a fun little easter egg on the OddCast website. See the little avatar on the upper left hand corner?
If you click on her she starts protesting:
“Stop it!”
“Keep your mouse to yourself”
The funny thing is, she sounds like she is really upset by the clicking. It actually sounds more authentic than the marketing messages she presents when you load the page.
After several more requests to stop, she gives a final warning and then is replaced with this much less attractive avatar who says in a Frankenstein voice “See what you’ve done. She was much more fun.”
Just in case you were wondering if I was an avatar molester, I was clicking on her because I thought perhaps the avatar presented different marketing messages on each page. When she didn’t say anything on the management team page I thought maybe I had to click her in order to hear the message.

F-ed up. First of many steps in a strange direction. I recently was at the grocery store talking back to the self-check out machine and some guy accused me of being schizophrenic. But what’s crazier, a machine talking to you and you not responding, or you talking back?
