So here it goes again

reeeeeally, preach?? what would compel you to click on this banner??

i am really not trying to clown, but bring to light the psychology of what captivates a person's curiousity with enough strength to actually bring about action... so that others might incorporate that logic into their designs.

so really, why would you click on this???

i like the cow better also... but if i were checking notifications on facebook and saw either banner off to the side, neither would cause me to click on them or even stimulate any thoughts at all.

on the other hand, johnny's flasshing guns would be a TERRIBLE distraction for me... regardless of what i was in the middle of. if i were in a hurry and had no time to satifsy my curiousity when i initially came in contact with them i might not be moved enough to click and explore THEN... but i would definitely be TEMPTED to risk being on the late freight by at least 30 seconds or so in order to AT LEAST see what an awakenedland IS... and if my willpower and focus were on point enough for me to resist the temptation FOR THE MOMENT, i would surely make a mental note to check it out later and the very next time it popped up when i was NOT pressed for time i would be like, "ooooh... there is that banner again! lemme see whats going on here...."

the flashes would be an attention grabber and a HUGE distraction EVERY time the banner popped up.
