I'm in an intro to psychology class, and we get extra credit for participating in experiments throughout the semester (the experiments are administered by college students, and help them with their major blah blah, and we get points). Yesterday the entire class got sent an email saying there is an opportunity to earn two points of extra credit if you come in at 4 PM today and take part in one. The email said that they're going to attach sensors to our face and finger tips to measure signals from the body. I thought it was kind of weird, but I needed the points, so I went. IT WAS NOT WORTH IT.
After they attached the stuff to me, I was then told I was going to watch seven one minute movies, and then answer some questions after each. The first movie was this women sitting on a couch talking about her day, something like that. The second movie... was two guys walking down the street at night, whispering to each other for twenty seconds, and then FUCKING HOOKING UP FOR THE LAST 40. I was losing it in anger, I couldn't believe that shit. Then they give another four movies, none of which are a big deal (besides this one sixty second scene from a porn movie between a guy and a girl, but they cut it off before it got porn-y-) and then the last video was these two guys GOING AT IT. I legit flipped out, said to the girl are you fucking kidding me, she wouldn't turn it off until it was over, I wouldn't watch, the shit on my face wouldn't come off, it was miserable. Best part? They video tape the reactions, without telling us.
She gave me twice as many points as I was supposed to get because I flipped out so much, BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT SOMEONE KILL ME. Worst thing I've ever been apart of. Who fucking thinks it is a good idea to hook someone up to a gay porn machine. FUCKING LET ME WIN THE SECOND ROUND SPENCE I DESERVE IT
