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.

Where I work they save everything that passes through their servers (I think), usually a complaint would have to be made, but I believe that they do random checks on images or something. A guy has been fired for looking at porn while at work, even though he was in an office on his own.

I think she was being sarcy with the sign up comment. I thought she was implying that the mice were too stupid to figure out how to sign on... has the internet ruined me?? D:

As for the flashing red, I was once sent an attachment that started flashing red all over my screen with the caption 'Porn Download in Progress' my boss was indeed standing right behind me, thankfully he almost wet himself laughing at it, while I just sat there blushing furiously :D

	Honestly, I think most work environments would have someone in the IT department who would know that that 99% of people who see Tubgirl/Goatse aren't looking at it because they're bent that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But they're going to, like, check to see if there's more "porn" that just goatse, right? The people who monitor that sort of thing would know about goatse, right? I think she was trying with the comments, but it was the same thing each time. And I didn't think it was pushed enough to be sarcastic, but now, yeah. lols at you (Reply to this)(Parent)
