Holy crap. I actually did it, and on the first try. How the hell? lol. Maybe cause I wear contacts and my eyes just kept tearing up to not let them get dry while they were open. Daaaamn. Sweet song fyi.

The last frame in the gif has an infinite duration. If you want a second shot, just refresh. The gif times perfectly with the music so when it ends the gif also "Ends". Also, the music in this is better then the actual music by the band, because their lyrics (imho) suck.

Amazingly detailed, this YTMND rocks. GIFs get slower on my computer the longer they go, so it took ten minutes before part of Michigan got blown up.
July 26th, 2006
(0)
This is one of the greater YTMND's... However staring contests like this one should be intermediate difficulty because its not a challenge to not blink when viewing something on a computer monitor. It has actually been proven that video games and computer use slows down blink times to 1nce per minute. That's why they tell you to take a break every hour for twenty minutes, so yer eyes dont dry up. Try making a contest like 10 minutes long, now that would be 0.00001% victory lol
July 26th, 2006
