'''Shock sites''', also known as '''shock media''' or '''shockers''', are any piece of media on the internet that use disturbing content, commonly [[:Category:Pornography|pornography]], [[:Category:Gore|gore]], and other [[:Category:Graphic content|graphic imagery]] to shock viewer(s). Just like traditional [[screamer]]s, shock sites have a goal to shock their viewers with unexpected content. Some good examples of shock sites are [[2 Girls 1 Cup]], [[Jarsquatter]], [[1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick]], [[Kekma.net]], and [[Goatse]]. These websites have gained a high level of popularity and are often used as a way to prank people. The first shock site ever created was [[Rotten.com]], a website that featured pictures of dead people, disgusting diseases, deformed bodies, and a lot more. In addition, the website was also the first gore site ever created. | '''Shock sites''', also known as '''shock media''' or '''shockers''', are any piece of media on the internet that use disturbing content, commonly [[:Category:Pornography|pornography]], [[:Category:Gore|gore]], and other [[:Category:Graphic content|graphic imagery]] to shock viewer(s).
