'''Goatse.cx''' (also known as Goatse) was a [[shock site]] that prominently featured an image titled "Hello.jpg" depicting a man stretching his anus using both hands, revealing his anal cavity. This image became the first to be used in bait-and-switch pranks due to its shock value, where a user would bait another user into clicking a link. The website used the .cx domain because of its phonetic similarity to the word "sex", but the Christmas Island authorities eventually shut down the website. The image used on the site, originally named "gap3.jpg", was sourced from the Gap.zip file, which contained several shock images of a man named Kirk Johnson "using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus". It is unclear whether Johnson posted Gap.zip himself, or if it originated from emails, FTP servers, or other sources.

In addition to "Hello.jpg" under the "The Receiver" section, the full website also featured "The Giver" section, which showed a man with a large penis reaching up to his chest, suggesting the "giver" was about to insert it into another man's anus. The website contained dead links to sites like urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, and older links led to biganal.com. Kirk Johnson was also featured on other shock sites, including Detroithardcore.com<ref name="detroithardcore">A [[shock site]] made in 2001 showing a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson fiercely stretching his anus open with both hands along with a watermark displaying the site's name in the bottom-right corner.</ref>, Bottle Guy<ref name="bottleguy">A [[shock site]] made in 2005, hosted on both [[Shockchan]] and [[LOLShock]]. It displayed a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson with a large bottle inside of his anus.</ref>, and Goatsee.com/Goatsemarathon.com<ref name="goatsee">A slideshow of images depicting Kirk Johnson stretching/shoving big dildoes and butt plugs into his anus to stretch it wide open. The images are all Gap.zip images, which were taken from the contributed work section of Goatse.cx.</ref>.
