Twirling Towards Freedom

I originally decided to post this picture because I thought we'd never succeed on the internet unless we posted pictures of naked women.  It turns out that this is scientific-grade porn, so I can safely post this without having to nettle Sam's moral qualms.

The test is to see which way the lady is rotating.  If you see her rotating clockwise, you're right-brained, which means you're a soap-fearin', hybrid-drivin', dashiki-worshippin', LSD-totin' hippie.  If you see her rotating counter-clockwise, then you're left-brained, which makes you a clench-reared, 401K-understandin', Nader-thankin', type A type.  Pick your side, so that we may all fight each other.

You can actually get her to switch directions if you look at her for long enough (GET A ROOM, PERV!)  I did it by focusing on her shadow.

If there's any neurologists out there, please let me know whether or not this is complete crap.  My gut feeling is that it has nothing to do with brain hemispheres, but that won't stop me from looking at it in-depth.

To discuss in the comments section: what else qualifies as scientific-grade porn?

See what I'm saying? I've shown this to, like, 10 people and they all start clockwise. Is it just that all my friends are irresponsible loafers? Let's get some organized people to look at it... where's Kabak?

Right, so, your soap-fearing hybrid-driving, LSD-totin hippie is a gross mischaracterization of the article/study's true findings, and why does a 401k lover thank Nader, he's a tool! As the physical embodiment of the conservative right wing, i was finally able to switch directions by viewing off-center. Only then did the motion become "back-ground" and i was able to switch it. At first i was easily distracted by the outstretched leg, viewing it as a "pointer" towards the direction of her motion. But it could just as likely be a "tail", trailing behind her spinning body, much like a comet. LSD-totin', Soap-fearin Hybrid-drivin' whiney-baby, stink-bottom dashiki worshippers love Nader.

I can make it switch back and forth at will. I think my brain is melting. HELP!
