PenisBird

		Content Warning! The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

PenisBird originally known as The Incident With The Bird is a shock image hosted on Rotten.com and Encyclopedia Dramatica.

The image displays a close-up picture of a naked man standing in the middle of a concrete parking lot with a scarlet macaw perched on the man's erect penis.

There exists an edited GIF version of PenisBird which shows the macaw masturbating the man's penis with semen discharging from it.

The first version of Last Measure was created by a GNAA member named "PenisBird" after playing with an AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) utility called AIM Invader, which provided a variety of ways to crash AIM clients. Last Measure features the titular PenisBird image, which was also used in original, alternative versions of the project.

Another site similar to this is Penisfish.

Slashdot letter

Links to the image and ASCII versions were heavily spammed on the Slashdot message boards, provoking this infamous response:

I am unsure if you are aware of the problems that your
"Incident with the bird" picture has caused on the
popular technology website slashdot
(http://slashdot.org).  Many users of this site's
messageboards are posting links to
http://smoke.rotten.com/bird and making text based
representations of a bird on a man's penis.  Frankly,
while I am pro-freedom, this type of photo sickens me.
Could you please move the location of the bird page
on your site to keep slashdot readers from seeing
things that are completeley unrelated to computers and
technology?  I'm not asking you to remove the content,
just to relocate it.

FYI the text representation of the bird is:

"Penis Birds" are posted by Penis Bird Guy, Penis Bird
MAN and several other users
