Does the sight of a distorted image make your skin crawl? I mean, an image like this one

or this

I've never liked looking at images like that. They just creep me out for some reason. I especially dislike any special animation effects where a normal image is distorted. It almost makes me jump out of my skin. Does anyone else feel the same way about distorted images, or is there something similar that makes your skin crawl when you look at it?

It would be nice if you posted some examples. :twisted:

The top one just makes me feel sea sick, but the bottom one I feel nothing at all.

Distorted images have never had any such affect on me.

I find them to be quite interesting, actually.

No, but looking at overly yellow-tinted images makes me taste lemon. o_o;

I think the first one's interesting. The second one doesn't do much for me.
