'''Goatse.cx''', also called '''Goatse''', was a [[shock site]] registered in 1999. The website featured an image, as displayed in the center, titled ''Hello.jpg'' depicting a man stretching his anus using both hands, completely revealing his anal cavity. 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. The names suggest that a man is about to insert his penis into another man's anus. It also has dead links to websites like urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, while older ones link to biganal.com. | The full website, as mentioned, shows the "hello.jpg" image under the "the receiver" section.
