Introducing...

JAPAN IS COMMUNIST AND GAY



A artical is not worth the time to write, instead here is a much better subject...


Goatse.cx is an infamous site on the World Wide Web. Its main page contains a rather gory picture (with filename "hello.jpg") of a man opening his anus and rectum to approximately three times the normal size of such an orifice. Several other images of questionable taste are also located on that site: loopback.jpg is a picture of a man with his penis 'looped back' into his anus, and bush.jpg is a fake picture of George W. Bush looking at the site.

The image originates from an entire set of images of the man depicted sitting on a peg to stretch his anus to those proportions. The images were located by http://www.stileproject.com (the Stile Project website contains potentially offensive images.)

The link was often disguised in posts to Slashdot and other such sites as a hoax, in an attempt to trick readers into following the link to the website. Once Slashdot began to display the domain name of a linked URL in brackets following the link (example: "Misplaced Pages "), people began to set up mirror sites and use public CGI redirect scripts run by sites such as Yahoo!. The site's images have also occasionally been used for Misplaced Pages vandalism.

The .cx domain is that of the Christmas Island, a tiny island 300 kilometres south of Java with about 500 residents, which is an Australian external territory. Goatse.cx (the name being an obvious wordplay on "goat sex", a form of bestiality) is by far the best known site using that domain (as most of the few sites hosted on or relating to the island have .au names). Parodies of the site exist, including oralse.cx, which features pictures of a kitten and a dachshund. It is unknown what the local residents think of the web site, or indeed whether any of them are aware of the site at all. The .cx domain is popular among internet gambling sites and other operations because it won't disclose registrant's personal information. Because of goatse.cx, however, many users have become wary of visiting any site that ends in .cx.

The actual server is not located on Christmas Island, but in the Kansas City metro-region.
