Wow, I never even knew you could scroll upwards or both ways!

Works on Firefox too. I tried adding <blink> but (thankfully) that didn't work.

Blinking Marquees were a big thing.

Blink was removed a long time ago, but you can emulate it easily with CSS animations.

To make it even more irritatingly attention grabbing while trying to read something else, layer the blink (or fade if being slightly more subtle) so it occasionally blinks brighter. Use the "Cicada Principle" to make the blink unpredictable with minimal effort.
