Today in my APR 300 class, we were learning about web design. My teacher introduced us to this site called “Take This Lollipop.” Now, when I first heard this I immediately thought about lollipops and happiness, but I was wrong. Instead you login through Facebook where none of your information will be kept on the site. It is merely to use for purpose of this “game.”
It starts off by a man sitting at a computer looking like he is on a mission to find you and kidnap you. Then, it turns to the computer and you see some random pictures from your Facebook profile. Soon, the screen turns back to the scary man who looks frustrated because he wants to find your location. The screen turns back and forth from the scary man to the computer showing your pictures.
Suddenly, you see the man driving his car to your location. His facial expressions are very scary and I did not know what was going to happen. The man gets out of his car because he is at the location with your profile picture taped to the glove box.
Oh my gosh, this had to be the weirdest and scariest thing I have ever seen on the computer. I literally thought the scary man was going to come through the door of the classroom and scare us. Thank goodness he didn’t.
I wanted to see for myself, so I decided to do so. I signed in through Facebook and then it began. The music was slow, loud, and scary and the lighting was dark and eerie. All of the sudden I see the man logging into Facebook and then my pictures start popping up. I was so freaked out.
If you do decide to try this website out, I want to prepare you for what will happen.
Have you ever heard of this site? Do you think you will try it out?
