Anti-shock sites

Anti-shock sites are a genre of shock sites that do not contain pornographic content or graphic content, but instead contain bizarre or humorous content. Some of these may also include parodies of other shock sites like Lemon Party or Goatse.

  • Bonsai Kitten - a site that claimed as a guide of how to raise a kitten in a jar by molding the bones of the kitten into the shape of the jar made by MIT student Dr. Michael Wong Chang. The site would have multiple people taking it seriously by complaining the site to animal rights organizations with the MSPCA stating "while the site's content may be faked, the issue it is campaigning for may create violence towards animals". The site has been debunked numerous times by organizations such as Snopes.
  • Browser Bomb / Seizure Measure - a variant of Last Measure with the same popup scripts, however it did not contain any shock images but instead embedded a Adobe Flash file from Albino Blacksheep named "rgb.swf" which would contain flashing lights with a chiptune version of "Axel F" from Beverly Hills Cop.
  • Leekspin.com / Loituma Girl - a site featuring a Adobe Flash animation of Orihime Inoue from Bleach spinning a leek accompanied with the Finnish song "Ievan polkka". The site itself is not intended to be a shock site, but can be considered a parody of Meatspin.
  • Lemonparty.org.uk - a site that shows a poorly-drawn image of lemons having a party, hence the name "lemonparty".
  • Oralse - a parody of the Goatse site with the title "Sex Kitten", with the image being replaced with a picture of a kitten in a field and similar warnings to what was on the original Goatse website. "The Giver" was replaced with "The Weiner" which was a picture of a weiner dog sitting inside of a hotdog bun.
  • Tubcat.com - a site that parodies both Tubgirl and older Web 1.0 websites. The site shows an image of a woman holding a obese cat with multiple edits of the image, GIFs and external links.
