I don't see anything moving and yes the lines are straight.

It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one!

Lines are straight but do not appear parallel. I believe that is what was meant.

Circles not moving, lines are straight but black boxes are offset.

The circles definitely look like they are moving - weird.

The rows are straight. The top and bottom squares in the column align not sure if that's straight.
The circles don't move but the black centers blinkr.

I believe it was meant to say parallel not straight.

Who cares if the circles are moving...the bigger question is....Will the Circle Be Unbroken???

Yes, they appear parallel, its only a bit offset by the irregular placed rectangles!
