Apparently it's safe again. Although unsurprisingly the websense filter here in work is still blocking it.

SFW Notorious shock site of a bygone internet ********* has pulled opened its doors as an email provider.

An Aussie IT consultant, who paid $10,200 for Goatse, will attempt to recoup his costs by selling email addresses using the domain: anyone interested in one can bag an @********* addy provided they can stretch to $5 a year.

Honestly, it's safe to look at now: ********* is just an email sign-up screen.

Between 1999 and 2004, the domain hosted hello.jpg, an infamous image that showed a stark-naked bloke bending over to expose his rather cavernous back pasage to the camera. The pic spread on Usenet, was hosted on the goat-sex .cx domain as a whim in 1999, and then linked to from all over the internet to troll victims, particularly those on Christian dating sites, who were not expecting to see an xxx-rated gaping rear-end. It became a defining image of Web 1.0.

So, because I can now. ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* ********* *********
