Okay, the headline states, do you see faces or candlesticks, the answer tells a lot about you. Well what does it tell or did I miss that part?
AprilSep 17th 2008 10:14AM
I've noticed AOL's headlines do this sort of thing all the time. What a waste of time.
SaraSep 17th 2008 8:01PM
I agree. I get frustrated when I can not find the info as stated. I also do not know why when I am reading something part of it has to be covered by a rectangle with other info on it.
RandySep 17th 2008 10:21PM
I thought I was the only idiot that couldn't find the stupid answers to the question of how many F's are there on this page, GET with it AOL. We don't like your run arounds, It's a waste of our time reading your stuff anymore.
StrayCatSep 17th 2008 10:06AM
Really, what DOES it tell? Do I have to go through a million pics to find out? Any psychologists out there wanna tell me here what it means if I always see FACES first?
LarrySep 19th 2008 5:09PM
AOL webpage is really bad about doing that. Giving you a headliner with an interesting question or title then just leave you hanging with no clue as to what they were talking about. Almost as if they were senile or have dementia. Like what was I talking about oh well here is a totally different thing we will show you that you were not even interested in.
StrayCatSep 17th 2008 10:27AM
OK, Carol, I went through it. If you see faces first, you're a people person, if you see candlesticks, you are more a domestic logical type. That's what I got from it, at least.
jamielow803Sep 17th 2008 11:26AM
thats crap i wanted to know wha it said about if u see one or the other
KSilva94551Sep 17th 2008 11:13AM
I agree, I'm sick of opening up these headliners and having to search for the answer. If I want to know more information then I can choose to go on to the next page.

thanks for the heads up, I wont even bother to look :)

Agreed. Waste of time; when you "click" it should give the ANSWER to the QUESTION for which you are "clicking." Come on AOL - surely you have a bit more savy than "trickery."

Col. Mustard porked Ms Scarlet with the candlestick in the bedroom hehe

Yeah, I almost never click on this kind of thing myself any more. Because it is so aggravating. They frequently do not give the answer to the question they showed in the Headline.
I imagine a LOT OF people just don't bother clicking onto this type of thing anymore, because AOL is playing games with them. It;s a dumb thing to do, because they want you to look at some advertising----which they need in order to fund the site.
A RozeSep 17th 2008 1:17PM
Agreed. Waste of time; when you "click," the link should send you to the ANSWER to the QUESTION for which you are "clicking." Come on AOL - surely you have a bit more savvy than "trickery" to get us to click on your adverstiser's sites. Pretty soon we won't believe you at all - and completely ignore any "message" you (or your advertisers) are trying to convey.

This is one of the reasons I stopped paying AOL

This is simple. A persons mind will automatically want to see a pictorial image imbedded over a WHITE background. So most people will ''see'' the color image pop out in the fist millisecond thier eye catches the image. Once the first image is focused in out thought pattern, we can then retune our vision to catch the second or more subtle image. As for the image of the ''candlestick holder''....... i probably would have chosen a different term as its a very unconvincing looking candle holder.....how about a watergobblet, or vase, or if your really creative.....well who cares....but anyway that is why we see the faces first.
AliSep 17th 2008 1:55PM
Faces? Candlesticks? I see a lady in a long dress smoking a cigarette....am I normal?
reinaSep 17th 2008 8:49PM
yeah i totaly agree,it is aggravating to get interested and to find out that your not going to fill your need for info.
