How to Avoid Scary Pop Ups on Flash Animations over the Internet

These steps, tips and warnings will help you decrease the chances of running into a flash animation with a prank flash shock image played for scares.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. # First, take a dumpling at the website you're surfing. If it's one that you've never seen before, I wouldn't take the risk.
2. # Look at the title of the animation. If it looks like something boring, chances are it's a trick to scare you.
3. # Look for anything that requires you to turn the volume up and/or concentrate hard on an image, it is usually a sign of a scary experience.
4. # Trick a friend who is not usually scared to look it up. Trick them and pretend you have already seen it.
5. # Turn off the sound. If it does happen to be a "shock flash" animation, it will scream at you.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do run into to any scary faces while surfing the net, don't take it seriously.
• Remind yourself that the thing is not real and really can't harm you.
• Don't think of thoughts that will lead to that thought. It's kind of like reminding yourself of the scary thing.
• If it is a maze that says there is a surprise at the end, it is an obvious prank.
• Right clicking will let you know if it's an image or a flash by bringing up a different menu (for the "concentrate on the image" ones).
• If you can't handle it just block pop-ups through your browser.
• If its a Video on Youtube, put the video on pause and slide the thing that tells you how much time you have left on the video, through the video. If you see a face or something, chances are it will try to scare you. This way, there isnt any sound and its not moving.
• Also, On youtube, check the videos comments before you watch it. Those can usually tell you if its scary or not
• # If you do get scared, please don't send hate mails to the website while cursing them. # Don't tell the website to put a warning because then it wouldn't be any fun to anyone else who saw it
