Goatse.CX Suspended

angry modem — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 11:50:00 -0800

Complaint to nic.cx results in goatse.cx being suspended. Obligatory online petition is started. Screams and sobbing are heard on a regular basis on Slashdot. Links are SFW, but any investigation further may not be. This is truly a dark time for the internet.

While I am strongly in favor of the domain's right to post whatever questionable content it wishes -- to the detriment of millions of viewers of cheesy bulletin board posts -- and I'm typically an opponent of the tyrrany of the majority when it comes to subjective judgement of propriety, the portion of the AUP quoted in the complaint seems pretty clear that the site (and probably thousands of other sites) is in violation of the agreement. It's a bad AUP, but "goatse" signed up to abide by it rather than do business with a NIC with fewer restrictions.

When did goatse.cx go live? I think I first stumbled on it in 1999 or 2000 (thanks, slashbots)... It's hard to believe that, in 4+ years, this is the first Acceptable Use complaint.

Yeah they altered the AUP in 2003 for just this purpose, I believe.

If the domain has been suspended, how come it's still up? Why link to the wayback machine if you could also link to... oh, I'll be nice and not link to it, but goatse.cx/index-orig.html? Has the suspension not gone into effect yet?

Apparently from what I read (and please don't ask me how I found out,) but the goatse man is a hermaphrodite and is actually stretching out his female parts. If you look up his back a bit you will see a divit which I believe is his ass. I believe that the first time I saw this site marked the true death of my childhood. Anyways here is a mock interview with Bob Goatse which you may find funny.

i was once asked to describe goatse at the high school lunch table to one of my friends who'd never seen it. i drew a crude picture of what looked like two legs, and two hands pulling open an impossible large hole. another one of my friend proceeded to draw in Lucky Charms as if the hole was actually a bowl. he even penciled in a spoon. we forever referred to it as ass cereal.

I would swear that I rented a room from the Goatse man once. He went by another name and has since died from a strange and rare form of cancer unrelated to the anal fetish. It was related to a small cup he kept by his cookstove which he used to collect and save meat drippings (fat) for reuse. Goatse man was stingy, and the meat fat caused a rare stomach cancer. He never showed his ass to me, fortunately. He never saw mine either. It was platonic. I did help him slaughter a sheep once, but that was nonsexual and quite respectful. Did anyone else notice Goatse man's marriage ring? tittergirl - that's the best best laugh I've had in a couple of months. Thanks. homunculus - that's the second best laugh. thanks also.

I don't really get it. I was never that shocked by goatse anyway. Come on, what's the big deal. Okay, so the guy is pulling open his asshole, so what? How many times do you see vaginas opened to the world on the internet, and that's not such a big hooha. At least it's a clean asshole. And as for this guy being a hermaphorite so that this is actually a vagina: why is that somehow better? What do you people have against your anuses, if you don't mind my asking? And whatever it is, can you push it a little further in? Anal sex: it's not just for gay men anymore. Though tub girl thoroughly disturbs me, I must admit.
