List of shock sites: Difference between revisions

*''[[Goatse]]'' - an image of a man stretching his anus, originating from the site Goatse.cx in 1999. Goatse has become popular as an internet meme in the [[shock site]] phenomena, and has been often used by internet trolls to spread the image through message boards. The domain name ''goatse.cx'' may have been intended as a wordplay on the phrase "goat sex", or  that it's an acronym for "Guy Opens Ass To Show Everyone". The website has its own contribution works page, including [[Magic Eye]], that tells the user to stare at an autostereogram before changing to a 256 color version of hello.jpg. The image originally came from a file named gap.zip, a collection of images of the man inserting himself with over-sized buttplugs and dildos, as well as stretching his anus; it was theorized that the man was of Italian descent and started practicing anal expansion for his pleasure. However, after extensive research on the internet, the man was identified as Kirk Johnson. References to Goatse.cx have become a ubiquitous in-joke in some Internet communities, many of which have created parodies of or tributes to hello.jpg and the other images on the site:

:*''Analse.cx'' - The site features a bunch of cartoon bunnies, each with a pancake on their heads, who open their anus over the "Hampsterdance" song. The site, according to WHOIS, was located at the same address from which Goatse.cx was hosted.

*''[[Heyya.org]]'' - a website collection of [[shock sites]] created by the same creator of [[Lemon Party]]. The most famous among them was [[Jarsquatter]].

*''[[Happypuppies.net]]'' - a website intended to prank users that there's "no happier puppy in the world!". The site instead shows a slideshow of pornographic and gruesome imagery.
