I’d seen goatse before. It didn’t bother me too much the first time, and by now, I’m utterly immune to it. I’ve seen all manner of disgusting videos on the internet, and it generally takes a lot to bother me.
So, having never heard of Tubgirl, I decided to Google away.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Why? Why, Og, why? Can we please just not speak of this ever again? Ever? Sweet holy mother of…
I don’t know what this says about me, but I thought the photoshopped composite of a lotus pod and human breast was more disturbing than goatse or tubgirl. (If you haven’t seen it and really want to, go to snopes and search for “Breast Rash”.)
There’s an awesomely disturbing documentary series called “Human Wildlife” with Dr. Robert Buckman which played on the Discovery channel. The worms episode and the episode after that were particularly good for this kind of stuff.
I’m with Jenaroph et al. Didn’t bother me much the first time, doesn’t bother me now.
The fake boob image mentioned by scr4, though, freaked me right now. I am not a huge fan of parasites. (Compared to my wife’s intense phobia about them, though, I might as well be a cheerful volunteer for mass infection of various chompy red-eyed wrigglies.)
I saw an image of the Time cover and thought it was a Goatse parody. This isn’t the kind of thing people get fired over. This is the thing they get shot over.
That pic had me very, very nauseous for over a week straight. Something about there being a hole where no hole should be willies me out badly.
Ahhh, crap. I had gotten that damn pic outta my head, and now I’m feeling all queezy again just thinking about it (and this is from a guy who held a woman’s shattered skull together with his bare hands until paramedics arrived…that, I had no problem with…go figger).
I had seen the “breast rash” earlier, and while it’s gross, I think when I saw it, it was made clear to be a photoshop.
The brain and maggots are the worst, though.
The worst images I ever saw so far were harlequin fetus and pictures of smallpox victims. The worst thing about them-they’re real, and the suffering must have been tremendous!
