It uses Facebook Connect to connect with a user's profile and upon clicking on the Lollipop, the site will transfer information into the 'live' video and shows a disheveled and psychotic man sitting in a darkened room trolling through the user's live profile. The video reflects the real dangers of revealing personal information on social networks.
Catch the trailer below:

*Spoiler Alert*
The effects are so surreal that I felt chills as I watched on how Bill Oberst Jr. hacked into my account, browse through my photos with a psychotic look, checked out my friends and finally tracked down my address. The video ends with him driving in his car presumably to my house. I got a shock when my house door really opened when I did not expect anyone to come home and then to realise it's my housemate who just came back. I give full marks to the visual and sound effects.
At the end of the video, it shows a countdown to the stalker's next target on your friend's list.

Here's a Youtube version if you have decided not to subject yourself with the torment but I must say, the effects are much less gratifying. (taken from youtube, JasonLawson)
Scary? I think it is to be hacked/ stalked or both. Most of us are so comfortable with sharing information with people and organisations nowadays that our situation awareness is almost zero. I say it's time to revisit your profile and clean up any sensitive personal information. :)
What do you think of Jason Zada's video?
