History
NOTE: This section is about the histories (and the rise) of WWWTP.
In February 2002, Funshack released their own screamer, which featured a living room and the need to figure out what's wrong with it; after 10 seconds, a mouse (from Liquid Generation's Optical Illusion) appears with a shriek.[1] A Spanish version of the original was released in March 2002 by Jaca101 on the website Jaca101.com.[2] Another comparable version also exists, but there are no links to it, though ScreamerCentral uses the .swf file as a showcase video for “What's Wrong?”, which can be accessed here.[3] Liquid Generation made a series of WWWTP in April 2002, only 3 animations were made altogether. from April to December, many copies began to appear, though most of them were deleted.
Weasel Circus also created their own version of WWWTP in 2003, in 2009 Amendia uploaded a YouTube video which have reached over 1.7 million views, WikiHow also used the screamer as a reference to “Internet Screamers”.[4] though many screamers like this began to appear, but they aren’t well-known in the new era.
Impact
The animation has been reuploaded on multiple websites including YouTube, where it has gained many views. The screamer has also been featured on TV shows like America's Funniest Home Videos. Screamers of this kind became more and more popular as they began to circulate on the Internet. A few more examples of this are What's wrong with this picture?, Zoeken, Forest-wmv and Basement Ghost.
