These websites have gained a high level of popularity since the late 20th century, and are often used as a practical joke. The first shock website ever created was [[Rotten.com]], a site which featured photographs of dead people, disturbing diseases, deformed bodies, and a lot more. In addition, Rotten.com was also the first gore website ever created. | ||
