BoingBoing links us to a Flickr set showing photos of people seeing Goatse for the first time.



What's Goatse, you ask? If you don't know, you should probably look it up in Wikipedia before you actually see it. If you haven't been desensitized by war or videogames, or if you have any fleeting wisp of innocence left inside you somewhere, I urge you to leave now, and we'll never speak of this again. The picture is the very definition of "NOT SAFE FOR WORK," and may, in fact, be not safe in ANY context.

Anyway, the pictures of people seeing Goatse are taken by a Laszlo Toth, who may or may not be a.k.a. Don Novello, who I know is a.k.a Father Guido Sarducci, the only man I've ever known to be arrested at the Vatican for "impersonating a priest." This whole thing is a sordid and postmodern waltz down the dark side of internet pop culture, really.

If you haven't seen Goatse for yourself, and you think you might want to, have a friend get a camera, and then click here.
