Well, almost...

aidan_walsh · 13-09-2004 11:28AM

If you don't know what it is, I wouldn't advise asking...

Victor · 14-09-2004 12:24AM

OK, I'll be the one to say it.

WTF?

Karl Hungus · 14-09-2004 12:46AM

LMFAO!!!!!!

Oh man...

Sweet jebus!

Methinks a summer intern had a bit of fun on their last day

Is this a tubgirl/goatse thing or similar?

Just say yes or no, I had to think about it for rather a while. Being a little more, er innocent isn't the word, erm, normal (yeah, that'll do) than some of you problem-types, I'd have just seen a ripping flag

Similar, yes.

aidan_walsh · 14-09-2004 12:54AM

Similar only in its ability to disgust and get internet forum posts closed in equal measure.

Yeah that took me a few minutes aswell... can't say its the first thing that came to mind though, some odd people around tbh :eek:

OfflerCrocGod · 14-09-2004 01:25AM

OH MY GOD that took me a while to figure out but when it hit Jebus!!! It was a good laugh but I dont think that they are the actual hands. It's just the way they are emmm....positioned that make it look like, I mean for how long would the artist have had to look at the original image if that were the case?? Once second was too long for me :eek: any longer and you risk going mad

Miguel_Sanchez · 14-09-2004 12:13PM

Ya wha?

FX Meister · 14-09-2004 12:20PM

Come on just tell us what it is instead of keeping it as an insiders joke.

Blisterman · 14-09-2004 12:20PM

I think I know what you're talking about. I've never seen the original.

Flinty · 14-09-2004 12:24PM

smoke.me.a.kipper · 14-09-2004 12:24PM

Flinty · 14-09-2004 12:28PM

EDIT:

Descriptive article only, does not contain the original image, though mirror links are provided for the, uh, curious...

Its something to do with the hands isn't it.
Can't click the above link as I'm in college, and I can't imagine its very college friendly.

FX Meister · 14-09-2004 12:43PM

Ahh, I think I understand now even though I haven't seen the picture, Anyone know where I can see the original, PM me with it perhaps.

maxheadroom · 14-09-2004 12:48PM

The wikipedia link above is work / college safe and also has some links to where you can see the original in all its glory...

aidan_walsh · 14-09-2004 01:25PM

It even gives boards a mention thanks to JohnnyVersache's spoof of the original site...

One of the links from the Wikipedia sites is..

http://goatse.cc/ and http://notyet.goatse.cc are the same except for the two links in the "Receiver" section. (Johnnyversace.com)http://johnnyversace.com) and Boards.ie (http://boards.ie) are linked to instead of Urinal Poop and Dolphin Sex.)

Johnnyversace is famous!!!!

Oops! Didn't see Doodle's post!

impr0v · 14-09-2004 07:11PM

lol, class. I thought of goatse as soon as I saw 'internet legend'. It was either him or Al Gore.

Blisterman · 14-09-2004 08:01PM

That's a sick picture.

Kappar · 14-09-2004 08:07PM

I'm such an idiot, I looked at it then didn't get it then said "oh clouds, Windows, internet...That's not very funny" LOL Then it hit me from the back of my mind Goatse

Blisterman · 14-09-2004 08:11PM

How did that picture become so famous anyway?

Slashdot people used to link to it saying "this is informative etc.." people clicked on it....and where scared for life :eek: That's why slashdot post links now tell you where they link too....no more surprises

Creature · 14-09-2004 10:40PM

Wow wikipedia has a lot more info on goatse than I'd have imagined.
