All links SFW.
In apology for having to eat my hat, I present you this piece of work.

There was a meme that went around LJ. It measured your "coolness" factor, among other things.

The creator of the meme decided that it was too good an opportunity to pass up, and used it for ~~unscrupulous purposes~~ goatse.

People are unhappy, to say the least.

Edit: I should add that as of right now (1:38 AM EST), the post is still safe for work. I can't guarantee where the links in it might lead you to, though.

I have no idea how I first came across Goatse. I just remember being a little disappointed that it wasn't more traumatic, because I wanted to have That Moment. By which I mean, if I had to see it — and apparently I had to — I wanted to have That Moment. I wish I hadn't come across it at all, but, well... it's the internet, and I'm kind of a whore for it.

I think I was trying to look at pictures of cats and one of the "cat pictures" was actually The Goatse. And then I started at it for like thirty seconds before realizing that was what it was. I was just sitting there thinking, "Damn, how is that a cat? That can't be a cat. There's no fur. Is it a wound on a cat? No, it really can't be a cat. Oh, wait, is that— Oooh. Uuuh, I should exit before the roommates look over."
