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."

    it's bad enough when someone does a first post to goatse.cx, why the heck is this making news? internet shock sites should not be posted on popular forums, it's stupid, why do we get a news article about shock sites, i always thought the /. community of moderators were a little more mature.

      Actually, shock sites are interesting because they show the power of what Richard Dawkins called "virulent memes". He wrote a great article here that explains how shock sites are linked to the formation of major cults and religions.

    I wonder when Goatse.cz, the classic site's replacement will be sold, and for how much!

    P.S. Don't click the link; it's a complete mirror of the original Goatse.
