The men would move the arrow around in response to your cursor movement, with a bunch of shouting and grunting signifying their effort. If you clicked on it they bent at the knees and then lifted the arrow up.
What they have now at the link I think is more inventive, but not as cute. Maybe the Japanese appreciate this kind of humor more.
Go to: http://www.1-click.jp/ and click on the man's bottom. There are at least three or four variations of what happens, so try it a few times.

Ha, Caprice! The inner working of the mouse is so cute! I could watch it all day- they are so animated. It really works that way, doesn't it?
