'''Klerck.org''' was a [[shock site]] registered in 2001, hosted by a man named Kevin Ealy. The site provided a few different shock images, while the main page simply contained hyperlinked text labeled "FOOD AS ART!", where the creator hosted various pictures expressing themselves through what they eat, divided into sections: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

==Images Featured==

*'''Spin.gif''', most commonly known as [[Meatspin]], is an GIF depicting an act of anal sex between two people. One man is seated, and the other is sitting on his lap. The penis of the man below is inserted into the anus of the person on top. The person on top is moving up and down, causing their penis to spin in a clockwise direction; the image is animated in such a way that the spinning motion of the penis appears to be infinite. The one with the spinning penis has a tan line indicating they have worn female undergarments; this has led some to believe that this person may be transgender.

*'''Christmas.jpg''' is a picture of a man laying down, while stretching their anus in an extremely wide position with their legs up in the air, a little similar to the prolapse of "[[Goatse]]" while putting a table clamp up their anus.

*'''Pain4.jpg''' is a picture taken from [[The Pain Series]] which shows Goatse, Tubgirl, a botfly larvae being removed from an eye, a breast covered in tumors and ulcers from breast cancer, a picture of a man with his face blown off, a mutilated dead man, a picture of a decapitated head, The [[Blue Waffle]] image, pictures of disfigured penises, a penis with yellowish ulcers from Wegener's Granulomatosis ( a rare autoimmune disease ), a man with an abnormal penis and scrotum nailed to a table, and an infected foot missing a toe with maggots in place of the toe.

==History==

Kevin Ealy Klerck was a well-known internet troll, and the website's purpose was to serve as a personal directory of his works, including [[Dance.swf]]. Additionally, Klerck created a petition on Petitions Online, demanding that New Line Cinema and Peter Jackson rename the second Lord of the Rings film to something more tasteful, considering the impact of the [[wikipedia:9/11|9/11 terrorist attacks]]. This troll gained widespread attention when websites, newspapers, and TV broadcasts began sharing stories about it. Forums were filled with people reacting angrily, outraged by what they thought was an attempt to impose political correctness on "their book".<ref>http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/</ref><ref>http://www.livejournal.com/users/klerck/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/internetcollection/comments/5fo7w1/klerck_is_dead_a_website_dedicated_to_the/</ref>

On March 8, 2005, Kevin Ealy was found dead in the bathroom of his boyfriend's apartment. He had posted a suicide note on his [[wikipedia:LiveJournal|LiveJournal]], whom he goodbyes his family and internet friends, while telling his own motivation to commit suicide. The final part of his suicide note is quoted:  

After his death, Klerck’s suicide note was archived by internet users, and a temporary site called ''klerckisdead.com'' was created to preserve it.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071012082414/http://klerckisdead.com/index.php</ref> Despite his passing, the ''Klerck.org'' domain remained active for almost a year and a half before it was no longer accessible and put up for sale.
