The Pain Series is a set of seven shock images depicting collages of dead people, images such as Goatse and Tubgirl, genital diseases, mutilation, gore, pornography, and other gruesome content.
History
The Pain Series was created by user Huge_Midget on the Something Awful internet forums in 2003. Users on Something Awful often used the Pain Series as a prank, or used it when someone leeched.[1] The original image set, consisting of Pain.jpg, Pain2.jpg, Pain3,jpg, Pain4.jpg, Pain5.jpg, Untitled.jpg, and awesome.jpg, was originally hosted on crazyninjas.org/kittens. However, the website was shut down, likely due to violating the host provider's terms of service.
The Pain Series was eventually popularized by Encyclopedia Dramatica. The "Pain Series" page hosts Pain1.jpg, Pain2.jpg, Pain3.jpg, Pain4.jpg, Pain5.jpg, and two additional collages, Pain6.png and Pain7.jpg. The page also contains a link to a Last Measure mirror called lm.loldongs.eu towards the bottom. Other pages utilize Template:Pain, a template that consists of a collage of images from the Pain Series that fill the entire page, which is hyperlinked to kittens.bioghost.com, another Last Measure mirror.
Pages that use Template:Pain on Encyclopedia Dramatica include "Puppies", "Contesting Your Ban", and several user pages[2] and talk pages. Multiple articles on the site also include links to pages containing the template. The "Kittens" page uses a unique template which is similar to Template:Pain, but uses a different arrangement of images.[3]
