Because of its shock value, it was the first image to ever be used in bait-and-switch pranks, where the user "baits" another user into clicking a link. The site used the [[wikipedia:.cx|.cx]] domain because its pronunciation is similar to the word "sex", but it was filed by [[wikipedia:Christmas Island|Christmas Island]] to shut down the website. | '''Goatse.cx''', also called '''Goatse''', was a [[shock site]] registered in 1999.

The full website, as mentioned, shows the "hello.jpg" image under the "the receiver" section. It also has a section named, "the giver", which shows a man with a large penis reaching up to his chest.
