I’m not sure how I stumbled across it, but evidently there’s a lot sites dedicated to anorexic pr0n (and no, I don’t mean underweight Hollywood starlets), so one should probably be careful how they key terms dealing with anorexia into google.

May Og help your poor soul. Look on the bright side: at least you are not part of a culture that practices subincision as rite of passage into male adulthood. I try not to be so ethnocentric (as my former anthropology prof would say), but I find it difficult to understand what motivates some societies to encourage such a ritual.

Yeah, that was the one I thought of as well. I’d heard of it ages ago but only recently did a GIS on it. I’m sorry I did. One of my favorite exchanges on [bash.org](http://bash.org) was:

\<Beerman\> I demand random linkage! link me to strange things, and entertain me  
\<tate\> h\*\*p://www.goatse.cx/  
\<ecs\> i was just gunna say that…  
\<Beerman\> my word, whats wrong with that mans bottom?

That should give you an idea of what you’d be in for… I’m still scared to GIS tubgirl…

DragonCon has a group of folks (myself included now) who make humorous videos to be shown before panels and such and one thing they made last year was one that was the spin off of a Hummer SUV commercial. Well, in the creation of said animation, they needed graphics of a Hummer. And so the unwitting dude googled “Hummer.”

What followed has been told and retold and was actually also made into another video skit for the group and entailed very obtuse and obfuscated descriptions of what it was that he ran across.

Yeah, searching for “Hummer” seems like a bad idea.

Chris Farley death pictures. That’s something I know exists but I just don’t need to see.

There’s a link to it in my OP. Basically, picture the Joker’s rictus grin from the Batman series, with really hard, scaly, disfigured skin, and… yeah. It’s horrible. ☹

I’m not sure of what half this crap is, and I haven’t looked at any of it, but I still feel uneasy and squicked out at just the THOUGHT of it all.

Me = cannot handle gross things.

Me = also very curious person who needs to get out of this thread!!!

I’d say just stay away from [rotten.com](http://rotten.com) --\> I stumbled across it years ago and remember seeing some gross things. Not sure how many were real, but they were still sickening.

Well, if you’re that curious, why don’t I [send](http://dreamland.ww.com/) you to the sort of site I warned people against. 😃 (parent page [here](http://dlsetters.home.mchsi.com/puppies.html))  
If I were feeling nice, I’d include a link to my earlier post in this thread, but I’m not feeling that nice. 😛

No way! I looked that up a few years ago when I was writing an article about a workers’ compensation case. The employee had suffered a degloving injury to her face.\* The text alone was enough to make me nauseous.

That was the very last time I wrote a workers’ comp case while I was eating. :eek:

- Apparently it’s considered a degloving injury even if it doesn’t affect your hand.

The sad thing is, I’ve looked up teratoma, flesh eating diseases, chloracne, two headed cat, abnormally large tumor, black haired tongue, and cancerous lung all before I decided to read this thread.

I always liked the 3 Dead Trolls In A Baggie skit about parents getting connected to the internet.

Dad: So I want to paint the living room, and I am wondering if latex paint will stick to stucko so I think I will go search for latex bondage.

Son: Eeep!

Elf porn does exist. I was in a chat group in EQ once and we were joking around and someone said they were going to take nude photos of their character and post them to an elf porn site. We got curious, and found out elf porn exists. We were to scared to search for Ogre or Troll porn.
