'''Goatse.cx''' | '''Goatse.cx''', also called '''Goatse''', was a [[shock site]] registered in 1999. The website featured an image, as displayed in the center, titled "''Hello.jpg''", showing a man stretching his anus with both of his hands, completely revealing his anal cavity. Because of its shock value, it was the first image to ever be used in bait-and-switch pranks, where the user "baits" another user into clicking a link. The site used the [[wikipedia:.cx|.cx]] domain because its pronunciation is similar to the word "sex", but it was filed by [[wikipedia:Christmas Island|Christmas Island]] to shut down the website. | ||
The image used on the site was originally named "gap3.jpg" from the Gap.zip file, a collection of shock images depicting the man, who was revealed to be a man named Kirk Johnson, "''using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus."'' Gap.zip might have been posted by Johnson himself, but it also may have been originated "''in emails FTP servers, etc.''"<ref><nowiki>https://www.gawker.com/finding-goatse-the-mystery-man-behind-the-most-disturb-5899787</nowiki></ref> | The image used on the site was originally named "gap3.jpg" from the Gap.zip file, a collection of shock images depicting the man, who was revealed to be a man named Kirk Johnson, "''using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus."''

In April 2011, it was reported that an Audi billboard displayed an image similar to the Goatse image. Pranksters put Goatse on a digital billboard in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2015. Pranksters signed the PGP keys of Facebook and Adrian Lamo with ASCII art of Goatse. One article asks, "''unintentionally hilarious or intentionally evil?''". | In April 2011, it was reported that an Audi billboard displayed an image similar to the Goatse image.

The [[wikipedia:Gay Nigger Association of America|Gay Nigger Association of America]], the known creators of [[Last Measure]], created a group called "Goatse Security", which derives from the site's name, in December 2009. Goatse Security became known for leaking 114,000 unsecured iPad email addresses. The group also used the image as a way to troll, such as adding the image to [[Last Measure]], a supposed "leaked" operating system that booted the image, and more. | The [[wikipedia:Gay Nigger Association of America|Gay Nigger Association of America]], the known creators of [[Last Measure]], created a grey-hat hacker group called "Goatse Security", which derives from the site's name, in December 2009.
