Agent Orange

Well, almost...

If you don't know what it is, I wouldn't advise asking...

Victor

OK, I'll be the one to say it.

WTF?

Karl Hungus

LMFAO!!!!!!

Oh man...

Sweet jebus!

Methinks a summer intern had a bit of fun on their last day

Is this a tubgirl/goatse thing or similar?

Just say yes or no, I had to think about it for rather a while. Being a little more, er innocent isn't the word, erm, normal (yeah, that'll do) than some of you problem-types, I'd have just seen a ripping flag

Similar, yes.

aidan_walsh

Similar only in its ability to disgust and get internet forum posts closed in equal measure.

OH MY GOD that took me a while to figure out but when it hit Jebus!!! It was a good laugh but I dont think that they are the actual hands. It's just the way they are emmm....positioned that make it look like, I mean for how long would the artist have had to look at the original image if that were the case?? Once second was too long for me :eek: any longer and you risk going mad

Miguel_Sanchez

Ya wha?

FX Meister

Come on just tell us what it is instead of keeping it as an insiders joke.

Blisterman

I think I know what you're talking about. I've never seen the original.

Its something to do with the hands isn't it.
Can't click the above link as I'm in college, and I can't imagine its very college friendly.

FX Meister

Ahh, I think I understand now even though I haven't seen the picture, Anyone know where I can see the original, PM me with it perhaps.

maxheadroom

The wikipedia link above is work / college safe and also has some links to where you can see the original in all its glory...

aidan_walsh

It even gives boards a mention thanks to JohnnyVersache's spoof of the original site...

One of the links from the Wikipedia sites is..

http://goatse.cc/ and http://notyet.goatse.cc are the same except for the two links in the "Receiver" section. (Johnnyversace.com)http://johnnyversace.com) and Boards.ie (http://boards.ie) are linked to instead of Urinal Poop and Dolphin Sex.)

Johnnyversace is famous!!!!

Oops! Didn't see Doodle's post!

impr0v

lol, class. I thought of goatse as soon as I saw 'internet legend'. It was either him or Al Gore.

Blisterman

That's a sick picture.

Kappar

I'm such an idiot, I looked at it then didn't get it then said "oh clouds, Windows, internet...That's not very funny" LOL Then it hit me from the back of my mind Goatse

Blisterman

How did that picture become so famous anyway?

Slashdot people used to link to it saying "this is informative etc.." people clicked on it....and where scared for life :eek: That's why slashdot post links now tell you where they link too....no more surprises

Creature

Wow wikipedia has a lot more info on goatse than I'd have imagined.

Hobbes

ROFLMAO... how did they get away with that picture.

Deadwing

Mossy Monk

Deadwing

Curse my curiosty. Seriously, that's unbelievably revolting.

WhoDaManRuane

Ooops, without ever having known about goatse, I thought it was an equally unfortunate distasteful analogy -
namely that I thought, straight away, that it looked like Superman opening his suit to reveal his Superman "costume"; which would of course be an untimely coincidence.

passive

well it might have been a coincidence if it had actually coincided with his death... it's the september issue
