Goatse.cx Is For Sale

Posted by kdawson on from the dept.-would-be-redundant dept.

fm6 writes "The domain goatse.cx is being auctioned. Bidding, at the time of posting, has reached $15K after 109 bids (with 6 days to go). Some of you will recall that this site used to be linked in a lot of Slashdot articles, despite having only a few pages. Boing Boing, with their usual creativity, has managed to depict Goatse's most commonly linked photo while still remaining within the bounds of good taste."

    You could put google adds on it but I shudder to think what it would advertise. Probably make a lot of money, though.

    That would be true if high schools didn't have computer labs. I know many who don't know the name, but it will be a cold day in hell before they will every be able to remove that particular image from their brain.

      I believe there is a wide gap between your assessment and the market value.
      So in your opinion, there is a void that must filled?

    Frankly, I wouldn't follow any links from this article. Last time I looked at the goatse.cx image was about 5 years ago, and it is still burned in my head. I can't go through that trauma again.

    Tubgirl is so much better than Goatse.

    And by "better", I mean "more thoroughly disgusting". The latter makes me laugh; the former turns my stomach.

    On one hand, it should be obvious that his link directs to some kind of shock image. On the other hand, he just posted a Tubgirl picture to Slashdot and got modded interesting. Indeed.

    "Open Goatse" sounds like some sort of FOSS operating system, probably based on BSD.
