'''Last Measure''' was a [[shock site]] created in 2003 by ''Penisbird'', a member of the internet trolling group [[Wikipedia:Gay Nigger Association of America|Gay Nigger Association of America]] (GNAA). Many variants of Last Measure exist, as the source code for several different versions was made available for download.

== History ==

An early version of Last Measure was conceived by Penisbird after playing with an [[wikipedia:AIM_(software)|AOL Instant Messenger]] (AIM) utility called AIM Invader, which provided a variety of ways to crash AIM clients.<ref name=":0">web.archive.org/web/20040809015117/<nowiki>http://lastmeasure.com/history.php</nowiki></ref>

The most powerful crash was the "last measure" crash, which overloaded an AIM client with file transfer requests, [[wikipedia:Contact_list|buddy list]] sends, and messages full of smileys and colors, until the AIM client crashed due to lack of [[wikipedia:Random-access_memory|RAM]].<ref name=":0" />

==Behavior==

Last Measure displayed pooped.jpg<ref name=":1">A picture of a woman's face with feces on it, which originates from bangedup.com.</ref> upon immediately entering the website. It set [[Goatse]] as the page's background, and opened numerous [[wikipedia:Web_browser|browser]] windows via a [[wikipedia:JavaScript|JavaScript]] function called ''procreate'' containing either [[Pillowfight]], [[Rotten.com#PenisBird|Penisbird]], [[Tubgirl]], or [[Lemon Party]]. It then used a function called ''playBall'' to move the windows around the screen. The page embedded a looping audio file called '''fsckyou.wav.mp3''',<ref>A reference to [[wikipedia:Fsck|fsck]], a [[wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] utility that checks the [[wikipedia:File System|file system]] for damage.</ref> which was a sample of a man screaming "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!".

The text "GNAA > j00<ref>The spelling for "you" in [[wikipedia:Leet|leetspeak]].</ref> fristage postage<ref>"fristage postage" is a reference to [[wikipedia:First_post|first post]], an Internet meme written by an internet user to indicate their discovery of an until-then uncommented entry.</ref> is mine" appeared at the top of the page. Below was the text "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute", which may have been an attempt to get the page listed under [[wikipedia:Google_Search|Google]]. The title of the page was "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, pleae [sic]<ref>This typo is corrected in later versions.</ref> leave immediately", which is a reference to the text on the front page of [[Goatse.cx]]. If the user pressed Alt+F4, the Ctrl key, or the Del key, the page displayed an alert containing the same text as the page title.

The page also had a button with the text "CLICK ME", which utilized the onmouseover<ref name=":7">Occurs when the cursor enters an element.</ref> and onclick<ref name=":8">Occurs when the user clicks on an element.</ref> events to call on the procreate and playBall functions to spawn more windows. If the user attempted to close any windows, the page utilized the onunload<ref name=":9">Occurs when the user navigates away from the page, such as by clicking a link or closing the browser window.</ref> event to spawn even more.

Last Measure additionally checked if the browser was [[wikipedia:Internet_Explorer|Microsoft Internet Explorer]], and if the version of Internet Explorer was greater than or equal to 4. If both conditions were met, it saved the page URL as a bookmark titled "Idiot!".

== Version 3.4.1 ==

[[File:Lastmeasure.JPG|thumb|A screenshot of Last Measure Version 3.4.1 from September 9th, 2004.]]

<b>Last Measure Version 3.4.1</b> introduced several new developments, such as an expanded image list and more elaborate scripts. The complete image list was christmas.jpg,<ref name=":2">A picture of a person stretching her anus to [[Goatse]] proportions with a table clamp, from [[Klerck.org]].</ref> [[Lemon Party|lemonparty.jpg]], [[Rotten.com#PenisBird|ouch.jpg]],<ref>The image is called ouch.jpg. but the [[wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] file is called penisbird.php.</ref> [[Pillowfight|pillowfight.jpg]], [[Tubgirl|tubgirl.jpg]], [[spin.gif]], freak.jpg,<ref name=":3">A picture of a naked female body builder.</ref> rustina.jpg,<ref name=":4">A picture depicting Rusty's wife's face photoshopped onto a picture of a naked white woman having sex with a black man. Rusty was the creator of [[wikipedia:Kuro5hin|Kuro5hin]], a popular [[wikipedia:Slashdot|Slashdot]]-like site.</ref> loopback.jpg,<ref name=":5">A picture of a man looping his penis into his anus from [[Goatse.cx]].</ref> and eww.jpg.<ref>A picture of a young girl, with two naked people in the background, with one of them exposing his buttocks. The text "The Fuck What?!" in red is visible, with the man's naked buttocks circled in red.</ref> Instead of embedding an [[wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] to play the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" audio sample, it embedded a [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash]] file called '''hey.swf'''.

The title of the page was "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately" and pressing Alt+F4 or the Ctrl key spawned an alert message with the same text. However, if the user pressed the Del key, it spawned an alert message containing credits:
