    Alas, many of the colors shown here are not “visual” but “representational.” In other words, this is NOT what you would “see” if you could witness these events. A disclaimer may have been in order.

    This is a scam. 15 zsecond add to get not the 6 min clip, I got 45 seconds, then another 30 second ad.

    And to think I almost shut the page down on the first ad.
